<DIV>Ed,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I’m a bit surprised about your assessment of the report quality by counting
quantities of words (letters???). It doesn’t help me to understand your specific
points rather than it gives me the impression that you are not satisfied at
all.</DIV>
<DIV>After a long lasting debate I would have expected a concrete suggestion of
text revisions as others did. That would at least help me to better understand
how to continue.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A correction. In my word analysis I inadvertently reversed the percentages
ascribed to the majority and minority positions in the document as a whole. This
section should have read:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cumulative:<BR> <BR>Portions supporting majority
positions: 325 words (31%)<BR>Portions supporting minority
positions: 732 words (69%)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My apology for he error.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Kind Regards,</DIV>

let’s allow another hour and a half for others. </DIV>

today at 20 UTC. </DIV>

<DIV>If DT members have minor edits we can forward those to Council at any

<DIV>Thanks to Steve, Darcy, Amr, and Matthew for providing edits to these docs.

<DIV>Here’s what I’ve done with the attached final docs: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Accepted all of Darcy’s grammatical corrections in the matrix and report.
(thank you!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As Amor noted, we did not describe DT discussion of how to meet undefined
Bylaws thresholds for Section 17.3 and Annex A - Sec 3.2(f) regarding recall of
a GNSO director. I added to the report (page 2) and In the DT
Recommendations column:</DIV>

<DIV>4. GNSO Procedures should define how GNSO Council meets two new
thresholds described in the new Bylaws in these sections:</DIV>

<DIV>17.3 – Amending the CSC charter. Bylaws require approval by a
“simple majority of … GNSO Council”, which is not a defined GNSO threshold
in Bylaws Section 11.3(i). </DIV>

<DIV>Annex D, 3.2(f) - Removal of a GNSO Director. Bylaws require
approval by “a three-quarters majority”, which is not a defined GNSO
threshold in Bylaws Section 11.3(i). Five DT members believe
that voting would occur only in the House that nominated the director, while
other DT members said the entire GNSO should vote on this
decision.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>While Darcy wanted to move the background paragraph to later in the doc, I
am keen to keep it at top so that readers who are not familiar with this DT will
understand what our recommendations are all about. That background takes
only 2 inches of space, so let’s please keep it at top of page 1.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I attempted to reconcile different edit suggestions.
Added Amr’s edits on pages 3-4 to explain the majority’s rationale on why
Council speaks for GNSO. (Steve Metalitz agreed). With those
additions, I did not accept Matthew's desire to delete discussion about
Council’s responsibility for non-policy matters. Those paragraphs are not
repetitive, and were an essential part of the evolution of our group’s
discussion. Thing is, readers are not going to go back to the call
transcripts, so this “evolution” section is the place to describe what was
considered (and rejected). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Accepted Amr’s new text about Nominating committee reps on page 7.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Matthew wanted to demote the note about 3 of 9 DT members abstaining, but
this is essential to understand that recommendations did not reach a high level
of consensus, and to explain why. This qualifier needs to precede the
recommendations, in my view. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My hope is that DT members have no objection to submitting these docs to
Council today — in time for their Council meeting on Thursday. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,0)">So, please indicate whether
you have any objections by UTC today.</SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again for your serious attention to this project.</DIV>
