<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>As agreed on
yesterday's Council call, I promised to draft a short paper as a "straw man"
listing those recommendations on GNSO reform that may be supportable by Council
as a whole.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>Given the deadline
is submission by 30 November I thought I'd better get a move
on.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>Not surprisingly
those listed are ones seeking:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>- improvements in
policy development and timeline flexibility,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>- improvements in
communications,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>- improvements in
outreach</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>- greater support
for constituencies.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>I have left out
proposals on structural change suspecting we will have differing
views.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>On working groups, I
am proposing a partial support, suspecting we mostly feel they will work for
much policy work, but that tying our hands to have ONLY working groups for EVERY
issue before us would be too inflexible. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>I hope I have
captured areas of potential agreement. Your first comments please by
<STRONG>November 25</STRONG> after which time I'll edit a proposed final
version.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>Comments can be as
simple as - "yes I/we support" or can be proposals to strike one of the
proposed areas of agreement. In that case, a word of explanation would be good
to share.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
