Re: [council] [] CCWG contribution in ICANN's homepage banner

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

i think we need to defend the GNSO PDP, and working-groups, as a brand.  people 
are calling a lot of projects “working groups” when they are not.  which 
dilutes the value of the name.  

speaking as one who puts a fair amount of energy into working groups it also 
demotivates me and others who do that.  why pay all that attention to quality 
and rigor when others get all the benefit of the credibility of the name and 
get Business Class funded travel to boot?  

i’ve said this before, in a different context…

        i’m trainable.
