[Gac-gnso-cg] Overview of Active GNSO Working Groups

[Mike O'Connor]

hi Manal,

i agree — i think this is a useful way to share this info.  

as a person with a really short attention span, i would like to see the two sections reversed.  so the summary list goes first and then the details follow.  those long solid blocks of text in the detailed write up are hard to get through — but really helpful if one of the PDPs catches my eye and i want to learn more.  would you take that as a friendly amendment?

i think your document would be really helpful for both the GAC AND the GNSO.  it’s a nice short summary of the “pipeline” of PDPs that seems easy to prepare and easy to digest.  and maybe a web version of it goes up on the GNSO web page and a link is included each time it’s distributed?  that way the world can quickly find out what is happening.

i also agree that there are interim-improvement opportunities here.  for example, i’m part of the Data and Metrics for Policy Making working group which is in the early stages of getting under way.  this would be a great working group for GAC members who are interested in improving our "fact-based policy making” capability.  since i’m also a member of this group, i could help any GAC volunteers find their way in what may be unfamiliar territory.
