RE: [council] Some comments on the draft initial letter to the GAC

["Winterfeldt, Brian" <bwinterfeldt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all:

I am fine with Jonathan’s draft letter as well as John’s proposed stylistic 
changes.

I think best intentions goes without saying and might suggest amending the 
final paragraph as follows. “In the meantime, please be assured of the GNSO 
Council’s best intentions as well as our appreciation of the critical role 
played by the GAC within the ICANN multi-stakeholder model.”  Also, the GAC may 
be unclear on what is meant by “the leadership team of the GNSO Council.”  Why 
not just say, “we”?

I hope that input is helpful.

Best regards,

Brian

Jonathan,

It seems as if I may have too much time on my hands -- I have made some 
suggestions of tone (I think) to the draft you proposed.  Choose or ignore as 
you see fit.
