RE: [ga] Re: Proposal: Establishing a Registrant Advisory Committee

["Dominik Filipp" <dominik.filipp@xxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

you are right. I have changed my mind regarding the committee. I am keen
on supporting both the motions. The only question is which one to start
with. Or with both in parallel? Danny has not expressed his opinion on
this yet.

Dominik and all,

  Our members sympathize with your concerns here Dominik.
Yet I see no harm in the forming of such a committee as long as it is
not stacked with committee members that only reflect the current ICANN
GNSO constituency's members.
