Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] GAC Communique on JAS

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Good point.  We do need to bring in more GNSO people and we will be working to 
attract them.  I have spoken to a few people in the BC, but have no commitments 
to particpation yet.  BTW, the list of group members can be found on page 2 of 
the Addenda.  I think Andrew lists as a member of the BC.

But any suggestions you have on who to make an outreach to would be 
appreciated.  Or even better, you - as all members of this group, should feel 
empowered to bring in the people you think should be here.

thanks

a.
