<div>I think Avri's suggestion is a good one, particularly as the document is getting longer and in some sections the comments may take on a stronger tone.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Frankly, though, I have absolutely no bandwidth at this point to keep taking additions and amendments :( I will try, but do bear in mind also that any new drafts will have to be re-circulated by those of us who have already sent earlier versions round, so that will also eat up time. Nonetheless I'll do what I can with what's been sent to the list to date.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Avri's question is also a good reminder that this process cannot (should not) be about challenging the original GNSO recommendations, but rather the implementations thereof. To the extent the USG Proposal does that, I think we should highlight that too.</div>

<td>Re: statement on USG proposal GAC-Board Discussion on Rec. 6</td></tr></tbody></table>Hi,<br><br>Still reading through, but wondering is there any value in producing 3 separate statements, one on each of the topics? Might find we have different levels of support on different sections.<br><br>Another question I have recently been wondering about: when the Board and GAC speak, will they only be discussing the implementation or will they also be challenging the decisions made in relation to the GNSO recommendations.<br>e.g., are they challenging the 'protect the right of others' recommendation or just its implementation, is GNSO recommendation 6 the problem or the MAPO/LPIO implementation? I.e is the issue the implementation or the whole basis of the program?<br><br>The answer to this might affect the way the response is phrased.<br><br>a.<br><br>On 10 Feb 2011, at 23:12, Robin Gross wrote:<br><br><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; FONT-VARIANT: normal; FONT-STYLE: normal; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">> Hi Guys,</span><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; FONT-VARIANT: normal; FONT-STYLE: normal; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"><br></span><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; FONT-VARIANT: normal; FONT-STYLE: normal; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">> </span><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; FONT-VARIANT: normal; FONT-STYLE: normal; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"><br></span><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; FONT-VARIANT: normal; FONT-STYLE: normal; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">> Thanks for the initial drafts and edits to this group statement.
