RE: [gnso-consensus-wg] GNSO consensus working group for GNSO Council restructuring

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tony,

I am all for building the relationship with the GAC but unless they are unable 
to respond very quickly, I think it may complicate things if they join late and 
we have to backtrack to bring them up to speed.  With our short timeframe, we 
need to avoid any complications if we can.
