<DIV><SPAN class=656382611-21082009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The GNSO Reform
Operations Team that both Wolf-Ulrich and I participate in, recently circulated
a request for comments on a proposal that was being discussed within that group
on restructuring the GNSO into two separate streams. One dealing with policy
issues the other administration. As there was no consensus within the Ops
team on this approach they specifically posed the following
question:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=656382611-21082009><FONT size=2 face=Arial><EM>"Do you think
that the establishment of a new, additional body to address specific
responsibilities – as described herein – would better serve the stakeholder
groups that make up the GNSO, or not"</EM></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=656382611-21082009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Those of you who
were present at the ISPCP meeting in Sydney will recall that this issue
was discussed and there was no support, basically because it was seen as
adding more bureaucracy and overhead.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=656382611-21082009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My question to you
is should we submit a response from the Constituency stating
that?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=656382611-21082009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This action was
supported during the Sydney meeting but as time has passed I thought I would
check once more to see if there is any opposition to this. If we are to respond
I would need to do that early next week, so if you are opposed to that action,
please reply promptly.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
