Hello all,<br>
<br>
just a kind reminder, a few hours away from the At-Large Comments
closing.<br>
I have heard in corridors that some people were concerned about the
lack of overall review of the GNSO's structure and most of the
recommendations focussed on GNSO Working Groups and small
adjustments rather than taking a serious look at the GNSO's
bicameral structure. Yet, I have not seen any actual written
confirmation of this concern here. Could you please all take a short
moment to write your concerns, if any, that should be part of an
overall comment that falls outside the (narrow) scope of the actual
recommendations made by Westlake Consultants?<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
