We only have a couple of days to send a response, but I don?t think it would hurt to let Glen know we?ll be a few days late on this one. It isn?t on the agenda for the next Council meeting, so maybe asking her for an extra week won?t be too disruptive.

If there is no support from outside the GNSO to do this (which I very much doubt), the GNSO will create its own working group to address the issue. This WG will, of course, be open to participation by anyone.

As such, I am reaching out to you to see whether there is an interest to form a cross-community working group on this topic. Note, should there not be sufficient interest to form a cross-community working group at this stage, the GNSO plans to form a GNSO working group on this topic which will be open to anyone interested to participate in.  Regardless of which approach is chosen, it is the GNSO?s expectation that any work on this topic will be conducted through an open and consultative process allowing everyone interested to participate and provide their perspectives.

Based on the feedback received, the GNSO Council will initially discuss how to proceed at its meeting on 19 March 2015.
