Re: Re[2]: [ga-rules] Procedures and Process

Yes, finally...:-) 

Do you also support the idea of submission rounds as described in
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga-rules/Arc00/msg00141.html ?

Again, these would not preclude submissions outside given dates, but would
set goals to improve the consensus building process and to discourage new
motions and policy documents being presented at the 11th hour before an
ICANN meeting.

Regards,
Joanna
