[At-Large] [ALAC] Fwd: [council] Call for Volunteers: IGN-INGO Protections Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group Members

Tue Oct 30 16:25:21 UTC 2012

Hi Alan,

How important is it to be on the drafting team (as opposed to the PDP team
itself)? The charter seems pretty clear, given that this is a reaction to a
specific board request.

What are the odds that the charter could be done so as to enable the PDP to
address the RC and IOC names separately?
