Thanks very much Susan and Ed for this well structured proposal! It will need careful deliberation (including some mathematical study with respect to the "system of rotation") within all SGs/Cs. Therefore I've circulated immediately within my constituency to kick-off discussion. First questions: 1. II. (Review Team Appointments) covers Bylaws section 4.6 (Specific Reviews), correct? 2. Which appointments do you have in mind under III (Other Appointments)? 3. During the council discussion tomorrow I'd like to get a better understanding of the rotation and how the NCAs nomination fit to it.

I'm proud of it and think we've come up with something that respects the diversity of the GNSO and will allow us to nominate our best candidates for positions within the ICANN community. You'll note that in section 1(a) we still have one item we'd like the Council to consider and make a determination on: the composition of the proposed GNSO Selection Committee. I'm sure both Susan and myself would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Suggestions to improve upon our work, of course, are encouraged and welcome. On a personal note, I'd like to thank Susan for her exceptionally hard work in making this policy proposal a reality. It has been nothing less than a complete delight to work with her on this and I'm very happy I had the opportunity to do so. Kind Regards, Edward Morris Sent from my iPhone
