[NCUC-DISCUSS] Increasing GAC influence?

[Kathy Kleiman]

I think it may make GAC much more powerful -- essentially a veto over 
the GNSO process (and the other supporting organizations as well). 
Michael Geist's article on this is good --

I think we should think hard about opposing...
Best,
Kathy
