In theory your approach would be ideal but given the deadlines would it be effectively possible? Perhaps Council + a few others? ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Gannon" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, June 24, 2016 6:12:30 AM Subject: Council Item for Disussion Hi All, As we know there are many changes coming for the role of the GNSO with our new accountability powers, I want to call out the following item on the council agenda for Helsinki * Item 5: COUNCIL VOTE - Approval to Form a Drafting Team to Develop an Implementation Plan for New and Additional GNSO Powers and Obligations under the Revised ICANN Bylaws (15 minutes) I have to say that I am concerned about this, this is a critical item for the GNSO and will set its strategic view and position for the next 5-7 years most likely, I don’t fee very comfortable with this being done in a potentially top down manner by council, I feel that this should be developed in a bottom up manner by the SGs and C’s first. I would be interested in others thoughts so that we can guide the PC on a position on this James
