Re: [council] Draft Letter to the Board on Red Cross Names & Identifier

[Mary Wong <mary.wong@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Councilors,

Following further consultations between the Council chairs and staff on this 
matter, the chairs would like to provide the attached letter for your final 
review before it is sent to the ICANN Board. Essentially, this is the version 
suggested by the RySG (per Donna’s earlier note, below) but with a single 
revision at the end of the second paragraph, to clarify that the GNSO’s IGO and 
Red Cross recommendations originated in a single PDP.

Please indicate any objections or concerns you may have with this proposed 
final version of the letter to the Board by COB in your time zone on Monday 23 
May if at all possible, following which we will transmit the final letter to 
the Board shortly thereafter on behalf of Donna, Heather, James and the Council.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Subject: [council] Draft Letter to the Board on Red Cross Names & Identifier

James, all

Following on from the discussion on the Council call yesterday about next steps 
in resolving the issue of permanent protection of certain Red Cross 
identifiers, the RySG has requested that the letter to the Board be amended to 
request an update/resolution of the outstanding issues related to the permanent 
protection of certain Red Cross identifiers and IGO acronyms. These issues have 
not previously been decoupled and we are concerned that if the Council suggests 
this as a path forward at this point it may be at the expense of resolving the 
remaining issues associated with IGO acronyms.

Proposed amendments to the letter are provided for consideration.

Thanks

Donna
