color=#0000ff size=2>Considering the very short timeframe we have to submit
the GNSO Restructuring Plan (prior to the 11 December Board meeting and
ideally with some lead time before that meeting), it doesn't seem to me that
there is sufficient time for "<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000
size=3>each constituency would make efforts to assign/volunteer an individual
or individuals to help develop the plan/report</FONT>". By the time we
get a group formed and functioning, the deadline would be upon us. Also,
I am not sure that our task is so complicated that we could not do it via our
list and in the 20 November meeting. Unfortunately, I may only be
able to particiapte in a portion of the 20 November meeting and may not be
able to participate at all, so I am submitting my input now and will
participate in discussions on the list.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Restructured GNSO Council Implementation Plan<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Dear
Council Members;<BR> <BR>At the Thursday 6 November Council Recap and
Planning meeting in Cairo, the attending Council members discussed the need
to respond to the Board’s directive to submit a GNSO Council Restructuring
Implementation Plan for Board Review in advance of the 11 December Board
meeting.<BR> <BR>There was general consensus that given the short time
available, that the best course of action was to develop a plan that
highlighted the key benchmarks, deadlines and decisions that the Council
would need to address in the coming months. It was further agreed that
each constituency would make efforts to assign/volunteer an individual or
individuals to help develop the plan/report.<BR> <BR>To help get the
ball rolling, Avri has asked me to prepare a draft outline of what the
report/plan might look like, including the key decisions that the Council
would need to address in the short and long term to achieve the June 2009
goal of seating the new Council.<BR> <BR>Set forth in the attached
document I have drafted an outline, sample calendar/timeline and a list of
potential key transition/implementation decisions that, collectively could
be used to develop the report/plan. I hope the material sparks further
discussion and deliberations prior to and during the upcoming Council
meeting on 20 November. In the meantime, feel free to red-line and
circulate the document with your thoughts and ideas.<BR><BR>I look forward
to supporting the Council’s efforts to develop and submit the plan/report to
the Board.<BR> <BR>Best regards,<BR> <BR>Rob
