Hello All, With the nominating committee process for appointing people to the GNSO Council, I am often asked what is required for a Council member. In response to this request, and also to provide guidance for constituencies that are appointing members of the Council, I have asked Glen to begin work on position descriptions for Council and task force members, as well as the chairs of Council and task force. As these are developed they will be circulated to Council members for comment. Any Council members that wish to contribute to this process should let me now. I would like to inform prospective members on the time commitment required. I have asked Glen to survey the Council to determine how much time is spent by individual members on Council matters. Note this time should include the time spent in liaising with members of constituencies in the GNSO to discuss policy issues that are being managed by the Council. Individual responses will be kept confidential by Glen. I have only asked for information on the average time being spent. Regards, Bruce
