Hi,

some GAC members from developing regions followed JAS (support applicant
working group) work and GAC itself supported the recommendations,we can
assume that we already started working with them.

 the board was also pushed about the outreach efforts but little was done
regarding that matter and the implementation by ICANN staff missed the
whole thing although many people from the community warned them.

I don't think that we are trying dictate any things to those
countries.capacity and awareness building with sustained outreach is aimed
to let be people informed , it is up to them to take actions or not and
decide what is suitable for their local context.
