Hi Philip Yes, will include this. I think it's a good set of questions to ask. I do, however, take Marilyn's point that this needs to be fixed in the interim so that we can keep Bruce in the traces for as long as possible!

But does it reflect reality ? Liz, maybe a good question for the review? ie Is there any evidence (within the GNSo's history) to suggest that more GNSO business items are concluded at a physical meeting, as opposed to a telephone meeting? In particular, were more items concluded at the annual meting than at other physical meetings? Philip
