True. There are examples of ad-hoc processes used in the past by the board, by 
staff and also by the community. If there is an occasion that any actor 
(possibly not exclusive to the GNSO) decides to use an ad-hoc process modelled 
on the GIP as outlined in the WG’s initial report, I don’t see any harm.

However, in principle, I would always advise against the use of ad-hoc 
processes if others are available. So I guess I’m saying I’d rather the GIP is 
used as a formal process once/if adopted. I certainly wouldn’t encourage the 
initiation of an ad-hoc process just to have a test run of a GIP. :)

Just sayin’.

Thanks.
