RE: [council] Fwd: Regions in GNSO

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

I don't know if it is a use of Regions by the GNSO, but the IPC officers used 
the Geographic Regions in seeking a geographically diverse IRT.

        Hi, 

        In the Geo Regions Working group, we have been asked to complete a 
template to record our findings about the uses of Regions by our respective 
AC/SO, in our case the GNSO. 
        
        I asked Robert Hoggarth to assist us in this task and both of us could 
not find other references to regions other than the one in the ICANN bylaws 
included at the end of this email.
        
        
        Is there any other reference for uses of Regions on GNSO or on GNSO´s 
constituencies that we should consider and include in the template? If so, 
please let us know during this week. 


        For your reference, I am attaching the example template sent by ccNSO.
        
        
        Thanks and regards.
