Dear Members Please find below a mail (and attachment) from Ray Fassett, Chair 
of the GNSO Council Operations Work Team Best wishes Gary 
---------------------------------------- The GNSO Council Operations Work Team 
(GCOT) is requesting feedback from you and your members with regards to the 
attached document.  While we are asking one question as noted below, all 
comments are welcome as our goal is for broader community feedback at this 
time.  In this light, our aim is for individual feedback vs. formal 
Constituency statement.  Our request is to distribute to your members.  All 
replies should be to Julie Hedlund at julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx, assisting our 
Work Team in an administrative position.  Julie will then forward all comments 
received to our Work Team discussion list.   The Operating Steering Committee 
GNSO Operations Work Team ("Work Team") has been tasked with determining 
high-level operating principles for the GNSO.  In line with this mandate, the 
Work Team has been considering how to establish a stronger, more effective 
GNSO.   This document describes a Generic Name Supporting Organization with two 
separate, functional bodies (as opposed to our existing single body known as 
the Policy Council), which we think may achieve the goal stated above.  THE 
WORK TEAM WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THAT THIS PROPOSAL SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED AS A 
FIRM RECOMMENDATION.  NEITHER SHOULD IT BE ASSUMED THAT THERE IS CONSENSUS FOR 
THIS APPROACH WITHIN THE WORK TEAM. We feel that it is appropriate to seek 
broader input from the ICANN Community on an approach that would fundamentally 
change the GNSO structure and working arrangements of the GNSO through the 
separation of its core functions, i.e. creating separate bodies: one for policy 
development management and one for the administration of the SO. THEREFORE, TO 
BE CLEAR, THE WORK TEAM IS ASKING YOU ONE QUESTION ONLY:  Do you think that the 
establishment of a new, additional body to address specific responsibilities - 
as described herein - would better serve the stakeholder groups that make up 
the GNSO, or not? The feedback received from the ICANN Community will establish 
the way forward for the Work Team regarding our work on this high-level GNSO 
operating principle. Any additional comments or questions you may have are 
welcomed.  Please reply to: julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx   We take this opportunity 
to thank you in advance for providing our Work Team with this much needed 
direction. Sincerely, Ray Fassett Chair GCOT 1-216-426-1500 Ext 3
