        <div>In porting the Accountability reforms to the GNSO, the

          to allow for a Vice Chair to take that role if so desired
          and/or required is an improvement on that concept and should

          I agree that the GNSO Chair or VC is the appropriate person
          for this capacity.  No need to reinvent the wheel and start
          creating new and confusing power structures for the GNSO to
