Most if not all of the issues are known to exist.

        Strange. The document is already public. Regardless, how do we
include a discussion of the issues in the GAC document without quoting
or using the document? Do we just pretend that we pulled the issues out
of the air on our own?

                Regarding use of the draft GAC document regarding new
gTLDs, please read
                the following messages from Denise Michel, ICANN's Vice
President,
                Policy Development. 
                
                Please note that GAC rules forbid the public posting of
any draft GAC
                document.  Therefore, the draft GAC document regarding
the introduction
                of new gTLDs must not be included in any of the RN-WG
subgroup reports
                or in the full WG report.  Please delete the draft GAC
report if it is
                included in your subgroup report. In cases where there
is currently
                reference to the draft GAC report, please reword any
reference to the
                draft GAC report and instead do something like the
following as
                appropriate: "refer to concerns that have been expressed
by some
                governments."
                
                If you have any questions on this, please feel free to
ask, but I would
                like to strongly suggest that we don't spend time on
further debate of
                this issue.  Whether you agree or disagree with the
GAC's rule, if we
                expect to be able to work constructively with the GAC, I
believe it is
                critical that we respect their rules.  I recognize that
several of you
                disagree with this, but I encourage you to deal with
your concerns in
                this regard in other forums rather than the RN-WG.
                
                I do want to clarify though that I personally do not
believe that this
                should limit our discussion of issues that are included
in the draft GAC
                report to the extent that those issues are relevant to
our SoW regarding
                reserved names.  Our report would not be complete if we
left out issues
                that we know exist.

                I understand the use/posting of draft GAC principles may
be an issue for
                the RN WG (or one of its subgroups).  Feel free to share
the following
                email I sent to the GAC Chair regarding this, or just
provide WG members
                with guidance on the appropriate treatment of GAC draft
text.
                
                Thanks.
