might want to refer to future communities of future groups.  constituencies is 
an overloaded term.

is the TAC an advisory that could request and issues report?


Page 12 on Recommendation for issues report.

It seems this is an issue we need to come back to.

I think that a set of possibilities is a good idea.

In some cases the issue is fair cut and dried and needs quick handling.,  In 
that case the 5 day basic issue report should be available.  

In other cases, the longer process with the option of BOF and briefing papers 
before the Issue report would make sense.

This is the sort of thing the Council as managers could decide in relation to 
GNSO generated and AC generated requests.  For board requests, one can assume a 
certain amount of research and thought went into writing their request, and it 
will probably be something they need quickly, like the STI request, so  the 
quick basic Issues report option is probably best.


Page 16 on Staff recommendations.

Seems like another area we need to come back to.

While the restructuring of Policy Staff to be more supportive in the PDP 
process is probably a good idea, we should be careful to make sure that any 
support work done by the Policy Staff is under GNSO Council management as they 
are the managers of the Policy Process.  There should be proper tools for 
Council oversight of the Policy Staff function.  this also feeds into the need 
to eliminate to all extent possible any private or secret communications 
between the Policy Staff and the Board related to GNSO Council PDP issues.


Page 18 the issue of 15 days.

A default timing should be maintained.  But a clause should be added indicating 
that the council may opt to extend the time for delivery, including the 
insertion of other option  steps.

15 days is rather short, though and perhaps 21 days is more reasonable.

For the last part seems like there are whole lot of things we need to get back 
to.
