Dear Vladimir, dear PSO PC colleagues, Further to the message sent to Mrs Denise by Vladimir on behalf of all of us, I think that we should also send a reply to Mr Carlt Bild (ALSC Chair) who invited us by a message on the 16 July (nearly 2 months ago!!) to send our replies to their Discussion Paper, the ones we were not able to find a consensus text. According to my notes of yesterday teleconference, I think that we agreed to answer something like that (subject to "language polishing" by a native English speaker): "The PSO PC has been working on the ALSC Discussion Paper which we received on 16th July. Considering that the PSO PC likes to keep its replies strictly within the PSO charter, it has not being possible to get a consensus reply on time. Now the final draft report regarding At Large Membership has been drawn to our attention and therefore we consider that the previous request has been undertaking by events. We have requested Mrs Denise Michel to indicate to us the deadline for the PSO-PC comments to the final draft in order to fit your framework but please do not expect any statement outside the scope of the PSO-PC". In my opinion, this answer "closes the circle" and clears up outstanding actions. I was thinking last night that I hope that nobody in ICANN suggests e.g. to reduce the PSO representation in the ICANN Board to one seat or even none as we will be unable to react to this nonsense without breaking our "own torturing rule" of not commenting on ICANN structure as it is outside our charter.
