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><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small">I'm afraid though NCSG would be the only one saying no when we're at the Council level.
