[council] FW: Formation of a GNSO-Board Working Group re the EWG Final Report

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hi Amr,

Thanks for this update...for all its worth, its good to see there is
intentional effort towards improving the names(generic) PDP. As i used to
imagine; by strengthening the names PDP, we would have solved ICANN
accountability issue by at least 50%.

I will go through Expert working group (EWG) report...hopefully it will be
understandable to a fresh eyes ;)

Cheers!
