  • Thread-topic: [soac-discussion] Joint Statement from Contracted Party House on GNSO Elections
I have no objection to spending some of tomorrow on this matter.  But I believe 
that the non-contracted side of the Council will need to work out its own 
issues before we can productively engage with the contracted parties.
