Dear Ray,
sorry for the late reply, I have been travelling.
I remember we discusssed this document in Sydney, summarizing my reply:

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?

I think that establishing an additional body to address specific 
responsibilities will add more bureacracy to the whole GNSO process which will 
be (i guess) more complex in the new bicameral structre, with stakeholdergroups 
and constituencies.

Hope this is useful.
best regards
Olga

Dear Avri, Olga, and Terry:



The GNSO Council Operations Work Team (GCOT) is requesting feedback from you 
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.  Please reply 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
