I am ok with both of those changes, but I wonder if the intent of the 4.c 
question was "Under what circumstances, if any, may the GNSO establish policy?"

Thanks Marika for the quick delivery of these documents.  And thanks to 
everyone for the excellent work.

I think the proposed charter looks really good but I did come up with one 
possible issue and one minor edit.

Under 'The WG may find the following questions helpful for completing the 
work:' on page 3 of the clean version, where did question 4.c come from:  
"Under what circumstances, if any, may the GNSO Council establish policy?"  It 
seems to me that we already know the answer to this: None.  The Bylaws are 
clear that the Council is a policy management body and not a policy making 
body.  It is the Council's role to 1) manage PDPs, ensuring that applicable 
process is followed and that all impacted stakeholders have opportunity to 
contribute according to the GNSO WG Guidelines; 2) make recommendations to the 
Board regarding consensus policies and/or other policies or best practices.  
The Bylaws make it clear that it is only the Board that may establish policy.  
I see no usefulness in asking the WG to answer this question because the answer 
is already known, so I suggest deleting it.

I also think a minor edit is needed in Deliverable 4 on page 5 of the clean 
version: "WG conclusions with regard to how ICANN Core Values relate to policy 
and implementation efforts and whether the identified core values apply 
differently to policy development work than to implementation of policy"
