[bc-gnso] Draft GNSO Council letter to the GAC

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@xxxxxx>]

In reply to Phil Corwin, 
this letter has been produced at Council level prompted by an individual 
Council member.
The presumption of a need to abstain is based on my experience and knowledge of 
the issues
and the historic position of BC members. That is why I asked the BC members to 
validate the
presumption !

For the record (speaking as AIM) I support abstention on grounds that a Council 
reply is not
needed as the Board is to reply. Why upset government when they can be your 
ally?
