        Thank you very much Rob.
         
        Considering the very short timeframe we have to submit the GNSO 
Restructuring Plan (prior to the 11 December Board meeting and ideally with 
some lead time before that meeting), it doesn't seem to me that there is 
sufficient time for "each constituency would make efforts to assign/volunteer 
an individual or individuals to help develop the plan/report".  By the time we 
get a group formed and functioning, the deadline would be upon us.  Also, I am 
not sure that our task is so complicated that we could not do it via our list 
and in the 20 November meeting.  Unfortunately, I may only be able to 
particiapte in a portion of the 20 November meeting and may not be able to 
participate at all, so I am submitting my input now and will participate in 
discussions on the list.
         
        My recommendation is that we take your strawman document and do the 
following:

        1.      
                For each of the elements of the "Key Process and Implementation 
Decisions to Effectuate Transition to Restructured GNSO Council" identify any 
subtasks that might be needed to accomplish the main task; my initial ideas on 
this are highlighted in the attached file.
        2.      
                Assign estimated target dates for each of the subtasks and 
primary tasks from step 1 above.
        3.      
                Integrate the results of step 2 into the "Potential Calendar of 
Timelines/Deadlines for Transition to/Implementation of Restructured GNSO 
Council ".
        4.      
                Add a comment to the effect that the plan should be a 'living' 
document that is modified and improved as needed throughout the implementation 
process.

        Note that I added a few additional comments and edits that may be 
helpful toward turning your Strawman into a final plan.  Because I likely will 
not be able to participate in discussion about this on 20 November, let me say 
that I am fairly flexible about the ideas I suggested and don't present them in 
a hard and fast manner.
         
        Chuck

Implementation Plan
                
                
                Dear Council Members;
                 
                At the Thursday 6 November Council Recap and Planning meeting 
in Cairo, the attending Council members discussed the need to respond to the 
Board's directive to submit a GNSO Council Restructuring Implementation Plan 
for Board Review in advance of the 11 December Board meeting.
                 
                There was general consensus that given the short time 
available, that the best course of action was to develop a plan that 
highlighted the key benchmarks, deadlines and decisions that the Council would 
need to address in the coming months.  It was further agreed that each 
constituency would make efforts to assign/volunteer an individual or 
individuals to help develop the plan/report.
                 
                To help get the ball rolling, Avri has asked me to prepare a 
draft outline of what the report/plan might look like, including the key 
decisions that the Council would need to address in the short and long term to 
achieve the June 2009 goal of seating the new Council.
                 
                Set forth in the attached document I have drafted an outline, 
sample calendar/timeline and a list of potential key transition/implementation 
decisions that, collectively could be used to develop the report/plan.  I hope 
the material sparks further discussion and deliberations prior to and during 
the upcoming Council meeting on 20 November.  In the meantime, feel free to 
red-line and circulate the document with your thoughts and ideas.
                
                I look forward to supporting the Council's efforts to develop 
and submit the plan/report to the Board.
                 
                Best regards,
