Dear All, As you may be aware, the GNSO Council adopted the proposed the GNSO Working Group Guidelines at its last meeting and resolved that 'to the extent practical and feasible, each existing Working Group shall incorporate these Working Group Guidelines into their activities'. The GNSO Working Group Guidelines have been incorporated in the GNSO Operating Procedures (see http://gnso.icann.org/council/gnso-op-procedures-07apr11-en.pdf) and are also available as a separate download (see http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-07apr11-en.pdf). You'll also find attached a short presentation covering the background and main elements of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines. If you have any questions or would like to receive a more detailed overview of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines, please let me know. Marika
