Hi all - likewise apologies for lack of presence on the list in the last few
weeks - it's been a little hectic. Anyway, thanks Mary and others for the
good work on this motion.

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

 

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
