OSC Members:

 

Following is the provisional resolution that was sent to the Council
relating to the GCOT & CSG documents that you will be discussing today.

Chuck:

 

Below is the Council Resolution (provisional) for both the GCOT and CSG
(acronym reverted) documents that are presumed to be approved by the OSC in
Brussels (19 June).   As I noted earlier, if the OSC ends up making any
language changes or elects not to approve a particular document, the
resolution can be modified as appropriate.   The documents are now posted on
the GNSO website (see Current Drafts) and Julie is setting up a Public
Comment Forum to commence following the Council meeting (23 June).  

 

We have not identified a Councilor to make this motion and wonder if you
would be agreeable to submit it.   Perhaps Olga will second it since she is
the Chair of the CSG Work Team. 

 

Thanks,

 

Ken
