[council] Some initial reactions from the ccNSO on the GNSO's message to Board regarding IDN TLDs

[Robin Gross]

Perhaps another option to consider for a GNSO liaison to the ccNSO  
could be a person who has served as a GNSO Councilor, but is no  
longer on council.

I don't have anyone in particular in mind, but these people would be  
a fairly good position to understand the GNSO's perspective on this  
and can work with a variety of stakeholders in the ICANN community.
