Re: [council] Proposed Motion for draft Final Report on Whois and Voting in LA

I see no basis for refusing the motion given the end process we have

I am not sure that I understand this. I am certain that the bylaws are
very clear on what our next steps should be, despite the twisted path we
have taken to get here. We cannot simply take a report and sit on it
while we decide to gather further information. The proposition is
fundamentally inconsistent with the path that the bylaws permit.
The Council does have considerable leeway in terms of what our response
to the vote is. For instance, if the report does not have the support of
the Council, it is perfectly reasonable for us to consider further study
of the issue in an attempt to find a path forward. It is equally
reasonable for us to consider a request of the board to sunset Whois
provisions in the current contract in the event that we cannot find a
path forward. But, we do not have this same leeway in terms of what our
action in response to the receipt of this report is. We must vote on it
and send the results of that vote to the Board.
This is the basis upon which I'm requesting that this motion, as worded,
be ruled out of order.
