Re: [gnso-restruc-dt] updated draft of bylaws

[Robin Gross <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One comment on ARTICLE X: GENERIC NAMES SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION;  
SECTION 3. GNSO COUNCIL. 6.
Just for clarity and consistency sake, we should add the word  
"members" after "six" and put it in parenthesis for NCSG - the same  
way this is communicated for the other SG's.
So it would read:
6.  Typically for voting purposes, the GNSO Council (see Section 3(1)  
of this Article) shall be organized into a bicameral house structure  
as described below:
a. the Contracted Parties House includes the Registries Stakeholder  
Group (three members), the Registrar Stakeholder Group (three  
members), and one voting member appointed by the ICANN Nominating  
Committee for a total of seven voting members; and
b. the Non Contracted Party house includes the Commercial Stakeholder  
Group (six members), the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (six  
members), and one voting member appointed by the ICANN Nominating  
Committee to that House for a total of thirteen voting members.
INSTEAD of :
