">Colleagues,<div><br></div><div>In light of the Board's VI decision and now 
that the new version of the AG is out, I would like to propose a motion to end 
the VI WG at this time.</div><div><br></div><div>Please understand that I am 
making this motion in the interest of the Council's task management. At this 
stage, there simply no longer seems to be any reason to continue to hold the VI 
slot open in our ongoing project list. This of course does not mean that the 
project should not be re-opened at a later date, say when we have the benefit 
of the 1st round's experience under our collective 
belts...</div><div><br></div><div>It is my understanding that the group itself 
is mostly OK to disband and that both co-chairs are eager to move on to 
pastures new.</div><div><br></div><div>I realize that this motion is submitted 
after the deadline, so I will have to request an exception to the 8-day posting 
limit from the Council. I believe that it is worth granting this exception in 
this case, as there is no more PDP work to be done on this item at this time, 
and deferring to our Cartagena meeting rather than tackling this now at our Nov 
18 meeting will not change that fact.</div><div><br></div><div>Would anyone 
object to this exception being granted? Would anyone be willing to second the 
motion?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Stéphane<br>
