<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>

This input will provide the Council with issues and concerns of the GNSO Community. The Council, in turn, can provide guidance to the members of the Council who will be leading this discussion - should it occur despite our deep concerns for Multistakeholder process and precedent. How else will this small team - some with very, very long-held personal views on the subject - be bound to a discussion on behalf of the entire GNSO Community? </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"></span></p>

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
