Re: [council] Draft Letter from GNSO to Board re WHOIS RT Recommendations
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 16, 2012

Oct. 16, 2012

Brian, several comments: - does this imply that you will not be sending any of the detailed breakdowns by SG/Const, including the explanatory notes that - the use of the term SG is confusing, as it normally stands for Stakeholder Group in the GNSO context. - Ignoring the possibly confusing abbreviation, giving percentages of the SG without any information about its constitution is not very informative. - the reference to the GNSO's 6 constituencies is unclear, as the GNSO has (I think!) five constituencies in two Stakeholder Groups, and two Stakeholder Groups without constituencies.
