<DIV><SPAN class=656382611-21082009><FONT face=Arial size=2>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>

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

<DIV><SPAN class=656382611-21082009><FONT face=Arial size=2>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>
