Re: [council] Today's election

[Wolf-Ulrich.Knoben@xxxxxxxxxxx]

As someone who was once on the working team elaborating the GNSO rules of 
operation I'm not that far surprised. I think we all take the council work 
serious as we do in particular with the election of our chair. The lesson to be 
learned from the outcome of today's election is that it has to be prepared with 
more diligence and better communication between the various groups including 
the NCAs. I hope we can achieve this on the way to the next round.
