Re: [gnso-restruc-dt] Fwd: Text of GNSO recommended by-laws

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I think we should have a cleaned merged copy of the by-laws we are  
scheduled to vote on by Wednesday, I have included both the redline  
version of the merged version and a pdf where the redline is not  
showing.
We will have 2 brief sessions in Sydney on the weekend where we can  
confirm the wording, but I believe it would be better to have pretty  
much reached (near) consenus on the text we vote on before then.
