in with respect to staff support. This is unsustainable and therefore needs to,
unfortunately, underpin (drive) our policy efforts. We need to govern what we
can take on and publicize that fact (especially to the Board). We cannot be
made to jump when requested. Our efforts need to be calculated and precise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
Attached is a report on staff resource utilization that we prepared to<br>
assist the GNSO Council in the Work Prioritization “management”
effort.<br>
<br>
We want the data to be viewed constructively as one input to the<br>
prioritization process, while being sensitive to the many hours also<br>
contributed by community volunteers.<br>
<br>
We hope this report will be useful in your discussion on the GNSO Project
Prioritization at the 7 October Council meeting.<br>
<br>
Best regards, <br>
