May I suggest that as a follow-up to Peter's note, the Council convenes a drafting team for a ccNSO Council comment, with Peter and Luis advising the drafting team?
you may ;-)

Do you think we should have a stand-alone meeting to dig into this?
Lat's aim for meetings of the drafting team.
Any chance of a brief summary of the critical issue, to help guide councillors to the critical parts of the document?
First, let me please clarify that the RSS GWG is _not_ an RSSAC working group but a cross community WG convened by the Board. Syncing with the RySG would be helpful.
o the overall governance structure
All RSOs (not: RSSAC) participate, no "representation"
o the proposed implementation phases (page 19) o the 'balance of power' in the proposed Council
12:6:6 RSO:ccTLDs:gTLDs
o the topic of financing (both for the governance structure and the RSS as a whole)
One interesting aspect is the historic independence of the RSOs (almost no contracts with ICANN) that, as CCs, we should have a lot of sympathy for, while at the same time the function is much more technically focused and constratined. That said, the function of 'designation and removal' is politically overloaded to degrees (of varying perception). Looking forward to setting up the drafting team later today! Best Peter
