These were from the "old" issue paper, which specifically referred to the
GAC with respect to public policy aspects in the GNSO IDN PDP consultation
but did not even mention the ALAC. In our Marrakech meeting, I urgently
asked Bret, who took pains to join the GNSO Councile Meeting online, to
raise this issue specifically. As a result, I was added to the GNSO
IDN-list, but still not a member of the GNSO IDN task force.

I've already drafted a document and send to the list--ooh, the admin-list.
Siavash made the good suggestions and offerred to edit it further. Now, we
can work on this and then send it to the GNSO as well as the IDN Committee.

Indeed, we'd take action sooner rather than later.
