Re: [ga] GA list and the GNSO council

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Indeed there might be some value in considering a proposal for an  
approrpaite intake procedure.

In this case, I think this should be taken up with the ICANN board  
committee that is accepting proposals, as far as I understand, for  
GSNO reform.

Thanks

a.
