<p class="MsoNormal">Please find attached draft GNSO Council comments on Operating Standards for Specific Reviews. These comments have been drafted by Susan Kawaguchi, Darcy Southwell and myself and are not submitted to Council for consideration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think the comments are in really good shape with one exception: 3.15 that addresses removal of review team members. So it would be appreciated if folks could pay particular attention to that section.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The aim is to have the comments approved during our Council meeting on 30 January, in order to submit the comments by the deadline of 2 February.<o:p></o:p></p>
