Oh, I'm not against the guide - the guide is a brilliant idea

Just resistant to adding a new acronym before I've heard anyone use it.

Hey K,

The Acronym Helper will be a new feature on the revised GNSO web site.
We consider it a bail-out and a rescue for the reader who is perplexed by all 
the acronyms.
The battle of being weened off acronyms needs to happen with the authors of the 
documents. Refusing to list an acronym in the Acronym Helper won’t nudge 
anybody toward anything; it just leaves the confused reader confused.

I intend to populate this thing like mad AND encourage people to minimize their 
use of acronyms. Not either/or.... Both/and! :-)
Cheers,
Scott Pinzon
Director, Policy Communications

Really?

Do we need to call it by an acronym?

What's wrong with just "the affirmation"?

Also I understand that the CEO is considering asking the community what (real) 
word they want to use to describe this document - try to ween us off making 
everything an acronym
