Re: [ga] GA list and the GNSO council

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Avir and all,

  Why does the Bod need to make this decision?  Can't
the GNSO council make this low level decision?  If not,
why is there a GNSO council in the first place?  Seems
overly redundant if the Bod has to make such low
level decisions.
