[council] RE: vote on GNSO council composition...

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Ken,

As the vote was on a specific motion that was amended during the 
teleconference, I will record the vote as stated during the teleconference with 
Milton abstaining on behalf of Chun in the absence of receiving specific 
instructions.

I will record in the minutes associated with the vote that Chun emailed the 
following statement to the GNSO Secretariat during the call:
"I clearly support a resolution which make sure to have three 
representatives per constituency."

I will convey the result of the motion, and the minutes associated with the 
motion, to the ICANN Secretary for consideration by the ICANN Board.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
