<DIV><SPAN class=656091815-26112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>you are
right. I have written "partial support" either where the intent
of the BGC is unclear and we wish to clarify what we support, or where we go
along with the BGC but are adding a word of caution or
clarification.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=656091815-26112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you can think of
a better phrase, I'm happy to use it. "Qualified support" / "conditional
support" ??</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

support to WGs.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=656091815-26112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I understand Council
wants flexibility: going along with WGs for most cases but we may choose other
means now and again according to the issue.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=656091815-26112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>The BGC report is
written less flexibly and more reflects the by-laws NOT current Council
practice.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

that a working group concept becomes the FOUNDATION and FOCAL point for
consensus development work in the GNSO AND potentially for other Council

<DIV><SPAN class=656091815-26112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>If we think that
there may be at least one issue where we would prefer to form a task force of
constituency reps, or a committee of the whole of Council, (like we did last
week), we need to say this. The BGC report text does not seem to allow for this
flexibility. Or if the BGC meant it, they did not write it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
