[CCWG-ACCT] Recommendation 11, 2/3 board threshold, GAC consensus, and finishing

[Drazek, Keith]

I agree with including Malcolm's suggestion as a principle and guidance for the lawyers during the next phase of bylaw drafting. I believe his suggestion was reflected in several comments submitted by the GNSO and its constituent groups. But I also agree with Andrew...now is not the time to get bogged down on this.   

Regards,
Keith
