please find some suggested edits, mainly additions at the
end of the draft (these are on top of Ed’s edits). Since we
go through the options if the Council acquires these powers,
we should also lay out at least briefly the alternative
route. And I believe we should also stress that the
decision on this report is not the Council’s alone, and that
the views of the constituencies and SGs must be solicited.

<p>Thanks Steve for the drafting and Ed for the comments. I
think these suggested edits add useful detail and reflect the
diversity of views in the discussions that were had.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I would also note that, at least as I understood it, there
was general agreement some calls back that the GNSO Council
was the appropriate vehicle for speaking for he GNSO in the
EC. While there have been views to the contrary, it seemed to
me that the majority of the group was still in favor of that
approach. Its important that this general view is not
portrayed differently in the report. This is reinforced by
the straw poll that was taken and referred to later in the
doc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I also believe that while some (one or two?) DT members that
suggested that it was not "sustainable" that the Council
continue to take positions on non-policy matters, this is not
the view of most I suspect. The suggested implication seems
to infer that the group as a whole had such concerns. Again,
the straw poll would indicate otherwise. It is important that
we not communicate that there is a general belief that the
Council's role is unsustainable as that would be overstating
the case.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks <o:p></o:p></p>

it should be noted that the original request was for
staff to analyze the new Bylaws for instances of the
use of “Council” or “GNSO Council” in place of
“GNSO”. That analysis was provided previous and is
attached again for reference. Staff found 17
references.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Second,
the request from the meeting on 21 September is for
staff to ensure that all references to “GNSO” in the
Bylaws are accounted for. That analysis is
attached. Staff found 209 references (excluding in
the table of contents). Of those references, 39
were in sections that only appear in the new Bylaws.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
