Re: [council] Draft list of definitions and descriptions of GNSO structures and mechanisms

[Amr Elsadr <aelsadr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mary,

Thanks for this. It will, I’m sure, be very helpful for folks who are new and 
interested in participating in the work of the GNSO.

I was wondering whether or not it may be helpful, in the “Notes” column of the 
IRT row, to make a reference to the role of the IRT in the context of the GDD 
Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF). Perhaps with a link to more 
information on the CPIF?

Thanks.

Amr
