RE: [gnso-sti] Special Trademark Issues Work Team Report to the GNSO Council

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please forward Margie's messages, this one with the STI report attached
and the one with the link to the document, to your respective groups for
review and feedback immediately.  As you all know, we have a short
window on this but hopefully we will be able to take action on the
report in our meeting six days from now.  That will involve agreeing to
an exception to the Council procedures regarding timing of motions and
documents so also consider that and be prepared to communicate your
group's position on that in addition to the report itself.  A possible
motion regarding action on the STI report will be drafted and
distributed as soon as possible.
 
I want to compliment the STI Group for what appears to be an
extraordinary example of cooperative and constructive work on a
controversial and time sensitive subject.  Sincere thanks to everyone
who contributed.
 
As always, questions and comments on this list regarding the report are
encouraged prior to our meeting on 17 December.  And most importantly,
please obtain input from your respective groups prior to the 17th so
that we can take action in our meeting, remembering that the Board had
asked us to respond to their request by 14 December.  Then we can put
this task to bed for now and hopefully better enjoy a happy holiday
season.
 
Chuck
