[NCSG-SubPro] NCSG Response to the proposed GAC-GNSO Consultation on Closed Generics

Mon Apr 11 05:22:34 EEST 2022

Hi Tomslin and all,

Kurt and others obviously wanted it to be discussed in the Council meeting
this week.
Steve has suggested if that was the intent we could propose a late motion.
I think NCSG is not in a hurry about this, so I'll let others handle it if
they want to propose the motion.

I can share more details and answer questions today later during our policy
call.

Best,
Manju
