'council'<BR>Subject: [council] GNSO Website<BR><BR><BR>Dear
Councillors,<BR><BR>Reminder! Comments due by 12 February. So far 2
comments have been received 2, thank you very much, but others would be most
welcome. <BR><BR>Regarding recommendation 20 of the GNSO Council review:
The GNSO Council should overhaul the website so that it better meets the needs
of all who are interested in the work of the GNSO.<BR><BR>In an effort to
improve the website, it would be most useful to have an idea of what your
requirements are for the website. Perhaps the following headings may help focus
your comments:<BR><BR>1. Structure - do the custom constituency pages help or
hinder?<BR><BR>2. Navigation - how can it be improved on the ICANN web site in
general? Can you easily get what you want from the GNSO home page?<BR><BR>3.
Content - should there be a simpler menu for basic information on ICANN on the
ICANN home page? And a similar menu for the GNSO home page?<BR><BR><BR>4.
Accessibility - do you ever have connectivity problems?<BR><BR>5. New Ideas - is
there content missing? If so what?<BR><BR>Your comments would be greatly
appreciated.<BR><BR>Thank you very much.<BR>Kind
