[council] Re: GAC response - Reply to your letter of 26 August, regarding potential overlap

[Heather Forrest <Heather.Forrest@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Marika,


Thanks very much for circulating this correspondence. I can also confirm that 
it was discussed in the CWG meeting earlier this week, and while concerns were 
raised about the simple fact of two parallel (if not overlapping) efforts that 
might arrive at different definitions of "geographic name" and different policy 
treatment across those different definitions, there was general agreement that 
the letter is a good thing in terms of evidence that this issue is one of 
broader awareness within the GAC, including the Chair.


Best wishes,


Heather (GNSO co-chair of the CWG, with Carlos Raul Gutierrez as other GNSO 
co-chair)

Dear All

For your information, please find attached the response from the GAC to the 
letter from the GNSO and ccNSO Chairs in relation to the potential overlap 
between the CWG to develop a framework for the use of Country and Territory 
Names as TLDs (CCWG-UCTN) and the GAC Protection of Geographic Names Working 
Group.

Best regards,

Marika
