RE: [council] GNSO Council resolutions 9 August 2007

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please note in Resolution 4 that I suggested two edits that are reflected in 
the wording below: 1) Change the "and" to "or" so that it reads, "Council 
requests the ICANN General Counsel to confirm EITHER that this is possible 
under the current by-laws or if not . . . "; 2) add "(s)" to "change" so that 
the end of the sentence says, ". . advise what by-law change(s) would be needed 
to enable it." Regarding the latter, it may require more than one change in the 
Bylaws and I am sure that the Council would want to be made aware of all 
possible changes if there are more than one needed.

I believe that the edits I suggested relect the intent of the Council but if 
that is not the case please communicate.
