[Gac-gnso-cg] revised version of the slide deck -- still plenty oftime for revisions before our next meeting

Sun Mar 16 12:44:45 UTC 2014

hi all,

i’ve rolled all of this conversation up into a new draft of the slides.  there’s one remaining thing to note...

Manal noticed that “GNSO” doesn’t appear in on the title of the slide deck and added it.  but that title is also the title of our group and “GNSO” doesn’t appear there either. i almost went ahead and changed it in the Charter before i submitted it, but decided to check with the rest of you.  does everybody consider this a friendly amendment, as i do?  i left Manal’s addition highlighted in red on this version of the deck to remind us to just quickly dispense with that question on our call.

thanks,

mikey

I think the GNSO and GAC providing  feedback, implicitly means they approve the new version reflecting such feedback ..

> [MI]: I'm learning a lot too J .. but you have a point .. although we don't have a similar formal way of approval, we can still propose 2 deadlines one for providing any comments, and in case of any, another for final review after incorporating all the comments .. Does this sound reasonable? We can discuss and finalize on our upcoming conference call ..

Amr, you want to be the seconder?  between the two of us, we can handle any amendments that come up and Jonathan can watch over both of us.

On the call we can agree on proposed dates from our side, one for comments (for example 2 weeks??) and one for review (maybe one more week??) ..

GAC folks?  what do you think?  too fast?
