    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">That's the old GAC, perhaps, but not
      the new GAC. The GAC meeting I watched in Toronto had an array of
      members from an array of countries and regions participating
      actively - and deeply engaged in discussions about the New gTLDs. 
      I think the GAC is doing what it was set out to do.... <br>
