[council] Role of the GNSO vice chair

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@xxxxxx>]

Council, now that we have a vice chair should we formally agree an internal 
role for the
position ?
Chuck and Bruce started this discussion a little way back.

Allow me to restart based on Bruce's original.
How do we and the chair and vice-chair feel about this ?

help plan any inter-sessional meetings.

(2) Operating planning
- work with staff to develop the budget for GNSO related expenses to feed into 
ICANN's

new use of
