We've talked about this with the GAC before, and it mostly ended up with them telling us about all the reasons why they can't really engage much in joint working relationships with GNSO and prefer to deal with the board.  But we could try again in light of subsequent experience…Or, how about asking them how they will go about ensuring a balance between all the law enforcement stuff they want and privacy and FoE?  Other SGs might not be enthused, but then again often there's a dearth of suggestions…
