Re: [gnso-policyimpl-wg] FW: [gnso-policyimpl-chairs] FW: Request for input from the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group
Please note that a message was also sent to the respective SG/C Chairs on 6 December by Glen on behalf of the WG to encourage feedback. With best regards, Marika From: <Gomes>, Chuck Gomes <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Friday 10 January 2014 22:00 To: "gnso-policyimpl-wg@xxxxxxxxx" <gnso-policyimpl-wg@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [gnso-policyimpl-wg] FW: [gnso-policyimpl-chairs] FW: Request for input from the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group I would like to request assistance from all WG members who represent a GNSO SG or Constituency to do what you can to encourage your respective groups to responds to the request for input that J. Scott and I requested several months ago. The attached letter was originally sent to Jonathan Robinson as GNSO Council Chair and to other SO/AC leaders on September 20, 2013 but the P&I WG has not yet received any response except from the ALAC. We originally asked for responses by 31 October 2013 but later extended it to 31 January 2014. Anything you can do to facilitate responses by the end of this month would be greatly appreciated. I plan to do what I can in the case of the RySG.

These went out on 20 September. I double checked and the letter did go to Jonathan as the GNSO Council Chair, but from the comments received from WG members, it looks like it was not forwarded to the SG/C Chairs. If you agree, we can send it to them today. Would 17 January be a reasonable deadline for input? Thanks for confirming.

I missed that. I can¹t seem to find the letter we sent to the other SOs and ACs. Would you please send it to this list?

But to fair, in the letter to the ALAC we said 31 October ;-) Marika On 4 dec. 2013, at 23:13, "Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Here¹s the letter to the GAC that was sent on 18 Oct.
