[ispcp] Fwd: GNSO Policy & Implementation

[Greg Ruth <greg_ruth@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a request we have received from a consultant hired by the

Development Process.  The executive committee will develop a draft
response and distribute that to the constituency members for comment
before sending it back to Ms. Williams.
