Q4. In Section 3.1: Question of constituency role

During the meeting it appeared clear that participants agreed with
deleting the following from the recommends changes to the by-Laws in
section 3.1:

subject to the provision that each Board-recognized Constituency shall
be allocated a minimum of one seat on the GNSO Council.


A pending discussion was: what does it mean to be a constituency if a
constituency does not have an automatic seat on the council?  In the
meeting it was suggested that constituencies provided an organized way
for people with similar concerns to participate in the process and in
the SGs.  

Does this need to be described somewhere in the By-Laws?

The question also remains on whether any considerations are required
within the By-Laws on the relationship between Constituencies and the
Stakeholder groups in order to implement the Board's recommendations for
increased participation and representation.
