[bc-gnso] drafting a BC comment on review of the GNSO

[Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Laura, Susan, Marie, and J Scott for volunteering to draft BC 
comments on the GNSO review report. 
(link<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-review-draft-2015-06-01-en>)   
 comments are due 20-Jul so we have lots of time for this one.

The draft report 
(link<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gnso-review-draft-29may15-en.pdf#page=4>)
 is long, but start with the exec summary and 36 recommendations on pages 5-15. 
  The consultants (Westlake) aren’t recommending any structural changes in GNSO 
or Council.  They’re mostly about process, support, transparency, training, 
etc. bizconst.org

We commented on the timing of this review:
