[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Re: Updated Electronic Voting language

[Mary Wong]

Hi and thanks for the note, Greg. With the exception of the introductory
sentence at the beginning, I believe the sub group intended that the actual
language be that to be incorporated into ­ or rather, added to ­ the GNSO
Operating Procedures. As such, would the attached updated version help? I¹ve
basically just numbered (or re-numbered) the sections to correspond to the
numbering used in the current GNSO Operating Procedures, with ³xx² to
signify the actual Section number to be allotted to the final version.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
