RE: [council] Motions under AOB for council meeting September 6 2007
The BC also had a motion pending, seconded by the IPC. We will rescind that motion in favor of this compromise motion that incorporates BC, IPC and GAC request for an additional factual study, and requests updates on ongoing ICANN studies, to incorporate that information into the process suggested by Avri's motion. Please see attached. I am not sure if Avri would consider this a friendly amendment to her motion. But otherwise we suggest it as an alternative.
