Re: [ga] Legal Changes in GNSO (resend)

Hi,

I believe it is possible that you misread the quote:

It was that those changes that legal counsel made to the document,  
that were purely cosmetic, e.g. commas, spelling corrections,  
numbering, expanding Nomcom to Nominating Committee, should just be  
accepted.

Also I might add that this was a review we had requested on changes we  
were considering as recommendations to the Board.  The reason we asked  
for the review was to insure that our requested changes were within  
the law as understood by ICANN's Legal counsel.
