[council] GNSO Council Comment on FY16 Draft Budget and Operating Plan

[Amr Elsadr]

Hello again,

I’ve attached a revised version of the statement including:

1. Susan’s addition regarding the additional resources required for the post-EWG PDP
2. A paragraph describing a view on how Special Budget Requests fit in to the GNSO’s work and the FY16 draft budget and operating plan
3. A form of disclaimer indicating that this letter is not being submitted as a result of a Council motion and vote, but rather in the absence of any objection.

Could folks please review this, and speak up if there are any objections to submitting it or if any proposed changes are required?

Thanks.

Amr
