hi,

I tend to see the council as the aggregation point for the various SGs
groups, and the SGs as aggregation point for the various constituencies
and interest groups.  Seems appropriate to me that the Council should
collect, do the synthesis and pass things on.


After all the council is the representative of the GNSO and its chair
is the chair of he GNSO.  Who better to bring things together than our
chair.  Sometimes we worry about the loss of reputation of the GNSO
and its council.  Perhaps the effort to minimize it in the service of
the constituencies is part of the issue.  And I do not mean to say it
is a hierarchy, but rather a progressive aggregation, with each entity
responsible to the representative of the groups it contains (except,
of course, for the Board which claims not to be composed of
representatives).

If we don't use the council as an aggregation point, what we seem to
say is that the task of aggregation and recommendation defaults to the
staff and Board.  Personally, I don't think that is optimal.
