I think Avri's suggestion is a good one, particularly as the document is getting longer and in some sections the comments may take on a stronger tone.
 
Frankly, though, I have absolutely no bandwidth at this point to keep taking additions and amendments :( I will try, but do bear in mind also that any new drafts will have to be re-circulated by those of us who have already sent earlier versions round, so that will also eat up time. Nonetheless I'll do what I can with what's been sent to the list to date.
 
Avri's question is also a good reminder that this process cannot (should not) be about challenging the original GNSO recommendations, but rather the implementations thereof. To the extent the USG Proposal does that, I think we should highlight that too.
 
Thanks and cheers
Mary

Hi,

Still reading through, but wondering is there any value in producing 3 separate statements, one on each of the topics?  Might find we have different levels of support on different sections.

Another question I have recently been wondering about: when the Board and GAC speak,  will they only be discussing the implementation or will they also be challenging the decisions made in relation to the GNSO recommendations.
e.g., are they challenging the 'protect the right of others' recommendation or just its implementation, is GNSO recommendation 6 the problem or the MAPO/LPIO implementation?  I.e is the issue the implementation or the whole basis of the program?

The answer to this might affect the way the response is phrased.
