JL: good idea - we need to call out the IPC for constantly undermining
the Council - why will noone talk about this?
I think we also need to inject a rule of law thread to this ie that
policy should stand once it is set until it is re-set through proper
process. happy to support this.

JL: Also happy with this - if the Registrars do not support it, let
them be on record for that. happy to help with drafting it.

>>>>> The template (https://community.icann.org/x/GQllAg) can be
