Given that these 2 discussions are probably of infinite duration, I think 
we should put them late on the agenda.

We have 3 hours (9-12), so we should think of time-constraining discussions.
Here's a suggested outline.
(BTW, I expect to be in Marina del Rey)

         not clear to me which WGs and committees need to report now. assume 3.

Subject: RE: [ga] Votes for the establishment of a WG on DNSO review

I believe there is merit in the need to review the nuts and bolts of the
DNSO, however, as former chair of Working Group B I must say that that old
Working Group process was not exactly conducive to meaningful process in a
timely fashion. However, in light of the work of Working Group D, newly
formed Working Groups might be able to work in a more productive fashion.

Just my two cents.

Best regards,

Michael D. Palage

I am not sure that a Working Group is the right answer, given how difficult
it was to have productive processes in the last four, but I fully support
the need for improved functional and operational processes for the DNSO.
So, I'm not voting for a working group at this point, but supporting the
need for a set of improved processes for the DNSO.

I got a few private emails wondering about the login of the Booth.
The  "vote"  (petition?) on the establishment of the WG can be done without
login or password. Just enter and you will see the "free" topics.

Easier, but not anonymous, is to  express your wish right here on the GA

Dear Harald,

good proposal; I'll agree since it makes sure the issues are studied,
even if cursorily. I also second Rick's re iDNS.

That is exactly my worry too.  After all, the decision in principle about
expanding the constituency structure is up to the Board and no-one else.
It will be a lot more productive to have the WG on the "how-to" *after* the
Board has given the Nod in principle.

However, in light of the work of Working Group D, newly
