Liz et al

Attached is a marked up version of your TOR

Besides the specific comments marked up I provide the following additional comments:

Formatting

1 It would be desirable if all GNSO staff reports/papers etc conformed to an agreed standard layout with a minimum set of information (which I have provided here as mark ups)

2 please ensure all paragraphs and bullets are numbered

3. Given that ICANN is an international body, I recommend that dates be provided in full to avoid confusion. IE 1 September 2005, not 1/9/05 or 9/1/05. Dates of documents (unless it is explicitly noted as the "print" date) should not use the MS Word "insert date option", but rather be typed in. This avoids the original date of the document changing.

4 I personally don't think the moving of the questions/analysis to footers works. My preference is that they be moved to an annex

I look forward advancing the development of the TOR on the call.

Subject: [council] GNSO Review TOR + Background Information

Colleagues

Thank you to everyone who has provided comments so far. Please find attached two documents. As per input from the conference call last week, I have separated out the background information and devised another document which looks more like a more formal TOR.

Could I ask you to review it - the Chair has asked for comments to be in by Friday 2 Sept Brussels COB. He will then forward an updated document to the Board for 8 Sept once any additional comments are taken into account.

On the current timeframe, this means that the Board will not receive the document seven days prior to any meeting.

Any questions, come back to me.

Kind regards.

Liz
