As Denise pointed out, the Working Group on GNSO Council Restructuring (WG-GCR), which consisted of representatives of each constituency and the ALAC as well as a NomCom appointee, recommended to the Board that the composition of the non-contracted party voting house of the GNSO Council should "...be open to membership of all interested parties ... that use or provide services for the Internet, ... and should explicitly not be restricted to domain registrants as recommended by the BGC." So it might be useful as a first step to simply confirm that we still support this recommendation. I wouldn't think that this step should require any special working group or drafting team. Do any constituencies or NomCom appointees disagree with this recommendation?
I think this is a reasonable step, though I would recommend that we take a vote on it that can show what level of support there is in the council, after council members have consulted their constituencies as appropriate. I would like to see a motion on this for next week's meeting. thanks a.
