For my sake, can someone clarify with me the consultation that was 
undertaken with the constituencies? If this is in reference to the 
consultation w/ the GNSO Council, this should be clarified. The 
difference is slight, but important (the document is much clearer, and I 
think I know the answer already, but I'm hesitant to jump to a conclusion).
It would also be useful if the document also included a chronicle of the 
consultation undertaken in the development of the document. This 
announcement and the document aren't in sync on this point and it is 
useful to understand, definitively, whose input was made available 
during the preparation of a document. This is a useful feature of parts 
of the PDP that we would be well served to use elsewhere.
Finally, can someone point me to "the GNSO Review – Background 
Information document" reference in the first paragraph? It might be 
helpful for others if this was made a hyperlink.
Much thanks in advance,
