[council] Further Draft of GNSO Council Restructure Implementation Report - for discussion

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

At this point, I believe that I should submit Philip's cover letter  
with Rob's staff report on the status of the work being done.

This seems to be a compromise between Chuck's optimism and Philip's  
caution.  I will not add any comment to the effect that we may now be  
questioning some of the reasoning behind the bifurcation that produced  
the proposal fr  bi-cameral organization.

Thanks.
