I agree with including Malcolm's suggestion as a principle and guidance for the lawyers during the next phase of bylaw drafting. I believe his suggestion was reflected in several comments submitted by the GNSO and its constituent groups. But I also agree with Andrew...now is not the time to get bogged down on this.

The addition of the following text might help allieviate that concern:
"This clause does not create a presumption that the Board shall accept such advice, or change the criteria for how it shall be evaluated."
I'm a little uncomfortable with all the ways the document keeps growing descriptions of what it is not.
Fair enough. I'm sure it can be stated in a positive fashion; I didn't expect this to be final bylaws text anyway.
Can we agree the principle that we're only changing the voting threshold and not trying to create a new presumption of obedience, and leave it to the lawyers to come up with the best language to avoid any unintended consequences?
Malcolm.
