Re: [council] Draft list of definitions and descriptions of GNSO structures and mechanisms
Hello Carlos and everyone, Thanks so much for the kind words as I mentioned, this is still a draft document so we welcome your suggestions for clarifications and improvements. The plan is that this document will also eventually feed into some of the other PDP Improvements work. Your specific point about the linkage between a group and its members, especially as it relates to the GNSO Council, is an interesting one. There¹s currently no requirement that Council members have to be part of any particular type of group, so maybe we are assuming too much about what people, especially newcomers, know (or do not) about the Council¹s role vis-a-vis that of a Drafting Team, a Working Group and so on. We can look into adding a link to the relevant GNSO operating procedures, e.g. the PDP Manual and Working Group Guidelines, perhaps via a footnote saying something like ³For specific information about how the GNSO Council functions in relation to these structures and mechanisms, see [document].² One additional entry that your email caused us to think about is possibly adding another entry for ³Council liaison², which is when a Council member is appointed to serve as a liaison between the Council and a Working Group. That may help reinforce the point above as well. Thanks again, and we hope this document continues to be useful!
