style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Margie pointed out that the WG must 
send something to the Board after review of the public comments, i.e., the 
final report.&nbsp; We need to nail down that final report this week, in my 
view, so that we establish a definitive VI WG line for the Board and GNSO 
Council before their next meetings.&nbsp; Staff have intimated to the Council 
that the October 28th Board meeting will be decision-making time for the final 
AG, so the Board needs to get our input as soon as possible considering they 
will be meeting Thursday in one week (10-days from today).&nbsp; [Turns out 
that the Board and Council are meeting on the same day.]&nbsp; We don't need 
full consensus on this, and I believe that the majority of WG would support a 
final report that included the details of Roberto's email of today.&nbsp; I 
checked with the GNSO Chair regarding the reporting chain and he is of the 
opinion that a singular message sent to PdT, KP and GNSO Chair is the way 
forward (i.e., we needn't get back into the issue of whether we send it to 
Council to forward to the Board, etc.&nbsp; It can go 
direct).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The second issue - whether to 
dissolve this WG or hibernate it - is a non-issue.&nbsp; IF we can get enough 
agreement from the WG to send our FINAL report, then, pursuant to Roberto's 
email, we go back to the Council to ask about re-chartering this same group or 
establishing a new issues report/PDP.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div>

to continue on a re-chartered WG or a newly-chartered WG to complete phase 2 
work would be able to.&nbsp; In short, I don't see what merit there is in 
'hibernating' our WG.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div>
