Re: [council] Board letter to GNSO Council
On how to go about doing the work that's being asked, I think the first question that needs to be answered is whether we strive to create a drafting team to come up with a proposal for "more effective and implementable" alternatives to the IP Clearinghouse and the URS. The Board has given us other options besides looking to better the systems that the IRT suggested be used. If we do decide to go for a DT, one question I ask myself is about the team's composition. The new Council has 4 ex-IRT members on it (sorry if I forgot anyone)! So while we are probably not expected to rehash the IRT's work, at the same time it would be useful to have that expertise going into this new task. What do the ex-IRT members think?
