["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Totally agree Tim.  The plan is to do that first on the list and then in our 18 
Nov meeting.

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.
