RE: [council] Motion To Approve Tool Kit of Services Recommendations for GNSO Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups


Agree Bruce.  It should also be noted that funds were included in the FY
2009-2010 budget for GNSO improvements.  I suspect that they may not be
sufficient for all recommended improvements and I questioned that in the
budget development process earlier this year, but there were funds
included.  That in no way counters anything that Bruce suggests.  We
will still need to work together regarding the available funds and how
to use them.
