which brings me to the last idea for this post. i wonder whether we need *two* GNSO Councils — a Policy Council (us) and a Leadership Council comprised of the heads of the SGs and constituencies who elect their own leader to coordinate and drive the work of those functional bodies.
While this is the sort of thing that the review of the GNSO can come up with, I personally think it is a really bad idea that will confuse things even further. I think that the GNSO has one leadership council, the GNSO Council, not a GNSO Policy Council but a GNSO Council. And while there are those who have had a long standing campaign to denature the GNSO Council to make it less then it is supposed to be, the only real effect of splitting the leadership into two councils would be to weaken the GNSO and promote inter-council conflict on whose responsibility something was. Finger pointing would be the order of the day. Definitely something I will argue against on every opportunity. avri
