To submit for GNSO Council approval, we have an ask for expedited review, approval, and return to VI DT. We have until 25 Feb 2010 to complete the constituency review. Please pay special attention to Objective #5. Within the VI DT there was much debate about this objective. We are looking confirm support for the 2nd option of Objective #5. It is important that an analysis be performed to identify and understand the range of effects that this change may have. The first objective bypasses this important analysis.
