              have been discussing a possible joint statement. As
              agreeing on details regarding specific concerns might take
              some cycles and Fadi’s asked us to move quickly into
              alignment, Tony Holmes of the ISPCP has circulated this
              place holder for collective endorsement and rapid

                  ICANN meeting 50 the entire GNSO community came
                  together to make a statement calling for the Board to
                  support community creation of an independent
                  accountability mechanism. That action clearly
                  indicates the importance of this issue to the

                  have closely followed this issue and are now
                  considering ICANN’s proposal for managing the
                  accountability process. However at this stage it would
                  be both prudent and timely to advise you that
                  currently there is no alignment within the GNSO
                  community on the proposed approach or process proposed
                  by ICANN. Discussions are on-going and it is our
