Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] SCI Letter to GNSO Council Chair Jonathan Robinson

[Greg Shatan <gregshatanipc@xxxxxxxxx>]

We may yet be able to resolve this on the list.  (Perhaps a scheduled
meeting will further inspire us to do so.)

In that spirit, I attach a revised version of the letter, which is also
available as an editable Google Doc at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N2_MB5-K8u2SVTdTi2EnAvIuVCzPpFQb7FsM5fP3iQU/edit?usp=sharing

In response to Avri, I note that these 4 items were phrased as
"possibilities" for the entire 2015 year, which leaves the question open of
where in the year any of these items should be handled  I've added language
to clarify that items 3 and 4 should await the results of the GNSO Review.
On point number 2, I've tried to clarify the remaining issue a bit (the
language of the actual Operating Procedures remains ambiguous, and the
language put into the motion to "fix" the situation is not in the actual
Operating Procedures).

If this meets Avri's concerns and the approval of all, we can send this out
and give ourselves back an hour of our time.

I look forward to your responses.

Greg
