Re: [council] Swap out Jordon for Singapore

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rafik,

I would like clarification from you that your assertion that this is a 
dangerous precedent for A&T is a personal comment.

It seems to me that if the meeting team detect a reason for not going ahead 
with a meeting, we should support their initiatives to take action in that 
regard. Failing that, I'm sure ICANN would fall under criticism for NOT taking 
action.

It also seems ICANN is being fully transparent and giving ample warning of the 
change.

I am certain we can expect an explanation as to why the change is being made in 
the near future. I think we have to give staff a chance to provide this 
explanation before starting to make assertions, as a Council, that there is a 
"dangerous precedent" for anything here...
