Thanks Julie.

This section speaks to the structure, see also the catalog of ships in 
the opening line of 6.1, which is different from whether functional 
boxes created are staffed from constituencies, or staffed from some 
extension from the pre-reform staffing practice (and I use "staffing" to 
mean "those who contribute time", not w.r.t. ICANN's paid staff).
I'll read it carefully later today.
