[council] Rec 6 motion: possible amendment

["Mary Wong" <Mary.Wong@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello again,
So as not to overly belabor the point or cause your Inboxes to overflow, would 
reformulating the motion along the following lines render it acceptable to 
those who were inclined to vote against it? Basically I added a Whereas clause 
and rewrote the problematic "endorsed" clause in the Resolved section:
"WHEREAS, on 8 September 2010 the GNSO Council endorsed GNSO participation in a 
joint working group with other interested Supporting Organizations (SOs) and 
Advisory Committee (ACs) to provide guidance to the ICANN new gTLD 
Implementation Team and the ICANN Board in relation to the implementation of 
the Council's Recommendation 6 regarding strings that contravene 
generally-accepted legal norms relating to morality and public order that are 
recognized under international principles of law;
WHEREAS, the Recommendation 6 cross-community working group (CWG) was 
established in accordance with the Terms of Reference also approved by the GNSO 
Council on 8 September 2010;
WHEREAS, the CWG has since delivered a set of recommendations regarding 
implementation of the GNSO Council's Recommendation 6 for new gTLDs to the 
community;
AND WHEREAS, the role of the Council is to manage the cross-community process 
on behalf of the GNSO community and the Council notes that the CWG's 
implementation proposals have been produced in accordance with the group's 
Terms of Reference; 
RESOLVED, the Council thanks the CWG and its participants, from the GNSO and 
other SOs and the ACs, for their hard work; and acknowledges that the CWG 
recommendations do not constitute Consensus Policy or GNSO policy development 
otherwise within the purview of the GNSO;
RESOLVED FURTHER, the Council recommends that each Stakeholder Group provide 
feedback as soon as possible to the CWG, in order to resolve outstanding 
questions regarding implementation of Recommendation 6 in a judicious manner, 
considering in particular those recommendations that received Full Consensus in 
the CWG.
Thanks,
Mary
