[bc-gnso] drafting a BC comment on review of the GNSO

[Steve DelBianco]

Thanks to Laura, Susan, Marie, and J Scott for volunteering to draft BC comments on the GNSO review report. (link<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-review-draft-2015-06-01-en>)    comments are due 20-Jul so we have lots of time for this one.

The draft report (link<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gnso-review-draft-29may15-en.pdf#page=4>) is long, but start with the exec summary and 36 recommendations on pages 5-15.   The consultants (Westlake) aren’t recommending any structural changes in GNSO or Council.  They’re mostly about process, support, transparency, training, etc. bizconst.org

We commented on the timing of this review:

For some of Westlake’s recommendations, we can find prior BC positions among our comments on ATRT recommendations:
