All,<br>
I would like to share this message just sent by Chuck Gomes, GNSO
Council Chair to the Council.<br>
I think he is right - in my 10 years of ICANN policy making, the STI
was a unique effort from all sides.<br>
Best, <br>
Kathy<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2"><span
class="659565717-11122009">Please forward Margie's messages, this one
with the STI report attached and the one with the link to the document,
to your respective groups for review and feedback immediately. As you
all know, we have a short window on this but hopefully we will be able
to take action on the report in our meeting six days from now. That
will involve agreeing to an exception to the Council procedures
regarding timing of motions and documents so also consider that and be
prepared to communicate your group's position on that in addition to
the report itself. A possible motion regarding action on the STI
report will be drafted and distributed as soon as possible.</span></font></div>

class="659565717-11122009">I want to compliment the STI Group for what
appears to be an extraordinary example of cooperative and constructive
work on a controversial and time sensitive subject. Sincere thanks to
everyone who contributed.</span></font></div>

and comments on this list regarding the report are encouraged prior to
our meeting on 17 December</span></font>.<span
class="659565717-11122009"> And most importantly, please obtain input
from your respective groups prior to the 17th so that we can take
action in our meeting, remembering that the Board had asked us to
respond to their request by 14 December. Then we can put this task to
bed for now and hopefully better enjoy a happy holiday season.</span></font></font></font></div>
