RE: [council] MOTION - To extend the term of the current GNSO Liaison to the GAC

[Glen de Saint Géry <Glen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

The motion has been modified accordingly with the friendly amendment from 
Wolf-Ulrich Knoben and Volker Greimann has been noted as seconding the amended 
motion.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Glen

Thanks all for weighing in.

There currently isn¹t a second to the motion, so I take these changes as 
friendly and ask that Marika & team modify the WHEREAS 2 language accordingly 
(the most recent version submitted by Wolf-Ulrich, below).
