Re: [council] RE: Second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT 2) Final Report & Recommendations

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

As a member of the ATRT2, I do not believe it my job to comment on our 
report.
I think the GNSO response is fine as far as it goes and I am pleased 
that at least something is being submitted - though I must admit I am 
less than enthused about responses that essentially say "we are already 
doing that".
I might have wished for it to be more supportive of other aspects of the 
report, but the response is what it is.
