Hi, Some months ago we had some preliminary discussion about GNSO-ALAC collaboration to develop a charter of rights for registrants. A number of people expressed interest at that point in participating and were added to the GNSO listserv on this. The council has recently adopted a charter for the drafting team, now we really need some NCUC bodies to help populate it. If you're willing and able, staff instructions are below.
