[council] RE: Domain Tasting PDP; Request for appointment of constituency representatives and for constituency statements

[Olof Nordling]

Dear all,
This is a friendly reminder that the Constituency statements on Domain
Tasting (see below) are due on 5 December. 
At the same time, this is an equally friendly reminder to appoint a
Constituency representative for the coordination of that task - not all
Constituencies have done so yet (or at least not made the appointment known
yet).

Very best regards

Olof

Subject: Domain Tasting PDP; Request for appointment of constituency
representatives and for constituency statements 

To the GNSO Constituency Chairs:

Dear all,
A PDP on domain tasting was launched through the adoption of the below
resolutions at the 31 October GNSO Council meeting. I draw your attention to
the requirements to appoint a representative of your constituency and to
submit a constituency statement on the subject matter within 35 days, i.e.
no later than 5 December 2007.
The PDP will be conducted with "a committee of the whole" and observers are
invited and welcome. A mailing list for the PDP will be established in the
near future. 
 
Very best regards
Olof
