Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] update from GNSO council call

Thanks Rafik.

Perhaps I can help by also pointing members of the WG to our agenda 
(http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/agenda-council-21jul11-en.htm), and more 
specifically agenda item 8, where the GNSO Council has laid out its 
understanding of the timeline that would need to be followed in order to 
achieve the Board's objective of them getting a result in time for Dakar.

Also for the WG's info, the next 2 GNSO Council meetings are currently 
scheduled for Sept 8 and Oct 6. We did discuss yesterday the possibility of 
scheduling an extra call during August specifically to allow us to look at the 
JAS final report, but it was agreed that this was too short as no final report 
could be produced by then.

Rafik made the point during yesterday's call that it would also help if 
individual GNSO groups were willing to try and work to look at the report asap 
once this group has sent it to the GNSO.

So I just wanted to update this group and highlight the fact that the Council 
is working hard to ensure this WG's final report can be considered as quickly 
as possible.

Thanks,

Stéphane Van Gelder
GNSO Council Chair
