Thanks Yaovi. I agree that adding the line about ISOC makes the disappearance clearer, but I think it also adds something that could get us into trouble.
I disagree, and support Yaovi's amendment. Indicating that we have checked with "the" Internet Society and they have indicated that the Pakistan Chapter no longer exists, simply indicates an extra level of due diligence was undertaken to ensure that all reasonable steps have been made to establish viability and/or contact. I would also note that the use of the term "Pakistan _*Chapter*_" strongly indicates that this was a subordinate body of a larger one (not the case in China) and that we have made a good-faith attempt to verify our information with the only body known by the name "internet society" to have multiple international chapters. The motions simply detail our good-faith attempt to make all reasonable efforts to establish contact before taking this extreme measure. These details do not obligate us to take the same exact measures for any future circumstance of this nature; the "without prejudice" sentence in both motions makes that intent quite explicit IMO. - Evan
