<DIV>I agree, too.</DIV>
<DIV>Since we’ve planned so far a separate session with Ray o the weekend, we
could use this slot for an internal reflection of the preceding discussion with
the board on the matter.</DIV>

support this. Though I'm not sure now is the time for GNSO review, I would
be interested in hearing Ray's views. Thanks for arranging, Jonathan.

any event, there is nothing to stop us getting on with reviewing our own work
on policy development since the last GNSO review. We could look into
various factors such as time taken, whether or not the policy achieved what
was intended and whether or not there were any unintended consequences.
From what I can see, this could be useful as part of our own work to improve
and feed into the Board commissioned organisational review of the
GNSO.<o:p></o:p></DIV>
