Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] JAS New gTLD Applicant Support WG Charter

[Alex Gakuru <gakuru@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just like the GNSO picks and chooses what recommendations to accept and
which ones not to, I believe this is our turn to also pick and choose which,
but one, charter to work under? It would be such a mess and multiplication
of work to get down to perhaps even pointing out which sentence(s) relates
to GNSO or ALAC charter. It would be far more clearer to everyone if have
the reference point from the onset. Recalling how often the WG  kept
referring to the Board's Nairobi resolution for guidance.
