[PC-NCSG] NCSG support? Fwd: [bestbits] LETTER IN SUPPORT OF THE ATTRIBUTIONS AND MULTISTAKEHOLDER NATURE OF CGI.BR

Mon Jun 27 08:34:45 EEST 2016

I had answered this from the peanut gallery to the effect that it is very much within our mandate, CGI.br <http://cgi.br/> is an active force in our ICANN space, and has financially supported NCUC.  So it?s not like endorsing a later about a global access scheme or whatever.  Busting it down to individual endorsements would carry less weight and be of less value to CGI.br <http://cgi.br/>.  They are pretty concerned about what?s going on and hanging onto their desks, so I?d think it highly appropriate that we?d have their backs as they have had ours.
