RE: [council] FW: [gnso-chairs] draft discussion paper on cross-SO/AC working groups

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Chuck. I think this is an important topic and should be discussed
in our meetings with the other ACs and SOs. But I think we as a Council
need to discuss to some degree first amongst ourselves and with the GNSO
community. If we have a better understanding of how the GNSO sees the
pros and cons, it would make for more productive meetings when we
discuss cross-AC/SO.
