    <p>Hi Manju,</p>
    <p>Great letter and great edits by Bruna.  I edited a few small
      things and then pulled out and expanded our "ask" - that we would
      like the GNSO Council to hold a comment period to provide input
      and guidance to this small group of individuals 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 clear input  and guidance to the the
      small Committee for the negotiations that may lie ahead.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>Here's the paragraph - building on opening sentences of Manju and
      edits of Bruna:</p>

                      as you might have guessed, I was the only one

                      '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
