  • Steve M.: Concern on the "Who" question is dealt with on page 2.  Just before 2. How.  References to GNSO Council and GNSO Supermajority.  Of the references in the Bylaws.  Our conclusions was that those Bylaws do suggest that the GNSO Council should act in those 17 instances that were identified, not for other instances.
  • Steve D.: Need to record the level of support for the recommendations.
  • Ed Morris: On Steve M.'s edits, my perception was that we had majority agreement that the Council would speak for the GNSO in EC instances and others.
  • Steve D.: Section 11 and 11.2 -- the EC in the new Bylaws includes the GNSO, and in the definition in Section 11 includes, but is not limited to, the GNSO Council.
  • Amr: Not convinced that we have agreed on whether the Bylaws need to be amended in order for the Council to speak on behalf of the GNSO in areas other than on PDP.  They do not say that the Council cannot do more than just managing the PDP.  There are other processes that the Council does manage.
  • Steve D.: This group should decide whether Council for speak for the GNSO as a decisional participant in the EC. 
  • Amr: Just "Unless the Bylaws are further amended" may or may not be necessary.
  • Steve D.: We will rewrite the paragraph.
  • Steve M.: What I think we are prepared to assume is that the 17 instances should be that the Council speaks for the GNSO -- that is what the Bylaws say now and thus, "unless the Bylaws are further amended."
  • Marika Konings: The Bylaws do not limit the GNSO Council to policy development only, at least not as it is currently written, does it?
  • Steve D.: Nothing in the Bylaws that limit the GNSO Council to managing the PDP, but nothing that says the GNSO Council should speak for the GNSO.
