    <p>Hi Manju,</p>
    <p>This is disappointing, but not surprising. Tx to you and our
      other Councilors for the trying to hold a fair and balanced line
      here. <i><br>
      </i></p>
    <p><i>Can I ask whether the Council will include our entire NCSG
        letter of objection to their response - or do they want to
        select parts of it? </i><br>
    </p>
    <p>If Council is willing to including our NCSG objection - whatever
      terms <i>we</i><i> would like to include in the Council letter </i>-
      with a clear and prominent reference to our NCSG letter of
      objection as an appendix-  then would it make it easier for the
      Board to see our concerns?   One place, one document to read (?)</p>
    <p>Of course, if the Council wants to edit our letter, then sending
      it separately makes sense.  Also perhaps there are advantages to
      sending it separately that I may not be seeing. <br>
    </p>
    <p>But the overall issue - that sending a few well-known,
      very-opinionated, and frankly extreme (on this issue) Councilors
      to the GAC (not including Manju, of course!) without guidance from
      the GNSO Community is a distortion and misuse of the policy
      development process.</p>
    <p>Best, Kathy<br>
    </p>

                      appointed to talk to the GAC (should our excellent
                      and well-founded objections to the process be
                      overruled).  This will provide a way for the GNSO
                      Council to know the issues/concerns/hopes o the
                      GNSO Community on this matter - and to provide

                                      as you might have guessed, I was
                                      the only one saying no to the
                                      'facilitated dialogue'. Jeff,
                                      Paul, and Kurt were eager to dive
                                      into the discussion of how we
                                      engage with GAC in this
                                      'facilitated dialogue' but
                                      thankfully they still respected
                                      our objection. My first point of
                                      objection is that the small team
                                      is really not representative
                                      enough to make the decision of
                                      whether the Council should meet
                                      with the GAC. For now, we agreed
                                      to refer this back to the Council
                                      and make the decision at the
                                      Council level. </div>

                                      the Council level. Also when this
                                      pops up, we really have to have
                                      our statement ready explaining why
                                      we're saying no. I've put notes in
                                      the document Tomslin created and
