<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings all, as most of you know I have been hired by the
Registrar Constituency to compile opinions and draft position papers on behalf
of the RC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The first position paper that I am working on for the RC is
a response to the Board Governance Committee Working Group’s Report for
recommended GNSO Improvements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Last month the BGC Working Group published its Report with
recommendations concerning five major areas for improving the GNSO.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The five major areas discussed in the Report include the
following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> 1. Adopting a Working Group Model<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> 2. Revising the PDP<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> 3. Restructuring the GNSO Council<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> 4. Enhancing Constituencies<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> 5. Improving Communication and Coordination with
ICANN Structures<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You can read a short three page summary that highlights all
five areas of the Report here:

background information available on this web page (along with links to the
Report annexes): http://www.icann.org/topics/gnso-improvements<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Our position paper will be based on the feedback you send
me, so please feel free to share your comments on as many areas addressed in
the Report as you like.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

clock began running last week, so it’s extremely important that you send
