I remember from the election process in 2010 (?) that weaknesses in the rules were identified and the need was seen to review them. If staff could find out results of this historic debate it may be helpful. However I don't recall that the council discussed the NCA aspects in particular.

If anyone has questions, I would suggest they not burden you by directing them at you, but instead direct them at the Leadership team. We can then work with staff to clarify what needs to be for people. So if anyone has questions, please put them to us.

I would prefer to base an answer on information provided by you and not my own interpretation and reading of the Bylaws and GNSO Operating Procedures. Thank you. Thomas
