[PC-NCSG] Update on our motion for next week's Council mtg

[Mary.Wong at law.unh.edu]

Hi all,
 
Sorry for the radio silence these past couple of days; it's been another of those weeks. Just to consolidate questions and replies in this new message:
 
- our motion was proposed and is posted on the Council webpage: http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/agenda-council-12apr12-en.htm
 
- the actual email I sent to the Council proposing the motion and mentioning Thomas' similar motion: http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg12881.html
 
Updates:
 
- John Berard (BC Councilor) has questioned the usefulness of either motion, saying the Council sent a letter to Steve and Rod proposing that the GAC suggest a way forward to deal with the IGOs' request, which the GNSO will then review. 
 
- Stephane wants Thomas and we to consolidate our motions, and has suggested an additional Whereas clause that I think is a good idea: http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg12890.html
 
- Perhaps of most relevance to our motion: Jeff (in private emails with me and Thomas) is fine with the idea behind the motion, and in particular with amended language in one of our suggestions for the issue report to say: "- Definition of the type of organizations that should receive special protection at the top and second level, if any".
I will update the membership on this with a shorter summary.
 
Cheers
Mary
