Hello Marilyn, I have a concrete proposal for how to manage the work and I'd propose that others give thought as well to options: I propose that the second PDP be worked as a modified TF. I had previously supported the Council working as a Committee of the Whole of Council. However, I've spoken with several councilors, and I suggest that following adaptation: Create a Council working group all councilors, but, allow each Constituency to substitute Constituency members for Councilors, so long as there is a minimum of one councilor from each constituency, for a total of three per constituency. Other members would be the liaisons from the ACs, and the NomComm members. I recommend we follow the structure of the bylaws where we can. I think we could achieve your objective by doing the following: With reference to section 5(a), Annex A of the bylaws: "5. Composition and Selection of Task Forces a. Upon voting to appoint a task force, the Council shall invite each of the constituencies of the GNSO to appoint one individual to participate in the task force. Additionally, the Council may appoint up to three outside advisors to sit on the task force. (Each task force member is referred to in this Annex as a "Representative" and collectively, the "Representatives"). The Council may increase the number of Representatives per constituency that may sit on a task force in its discretion in circumstances that it deems necessary or appropriate." The Council could decide to appoint a task force for PDP-Feb06 with 3 voting representatives per constituency. The Council could also recommend that constituencies consider appointing one or more Council members to the task force to ensure linkage with PDP-Dec05. This will ensure that constituencies have some flexibility on how they choose to resource PDP-Dec05 and PDP-Feb06. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
