Re: [ga] GA list and the GNSO council

[Danny Younger <dannyyounger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Avri,

There may be some value in considering the earlier
adopted NC Intake Procedure:

>From the Rules of Procedure for the DNSO Names
Council, Version 7

4.3 Agenda proposals for NC meetings.   Any of the
following persons can make proposals for NC agenda
items by e-mail to nc-intake[at]dnso.org:

-- members of the Names Council 
-- the Names Council secretariat 
-- the ICANN Board 
-- members of the ICANN Board 
-- the ICANN officers and staff 
-- the GA Chair 
-- members of the General Assembly (GA) defined as
subscribers to the ga[at]dnso.org,
announce[at]dnso.org or the GA voting register 
-- subscribers to an active DNSO ad hoc working group

There will be a limit of one posting per entity per
day and the IC shall have sole discretion to deal with
abusive activity. Intake suggestion e-mails for any
meeting will be publicly archived after the end of the
meeting in question.

-- Food for thought --
