    <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>
