[council] Motion in support of advice letter of the WG on Consumer Metrics

[<john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

For your consideration, below is a motion in support of the work of the
WG on Consumer Trust, Consumer Choice and Competition.  I am asking it
be put on our agenda for our December 20, 2012 meeting.

Note that the first time it was offered (then withdrawn for further
work), it was seconded by Carlos.  This motion needs a new second.  Let
me know who had such an urge.

Cheers,

Berard
