All, Attached please find a revised proposed GNSO Council motion on domain tasting and redline that highlights the changes from the previous motion. The primary changes are: 1. Additional Whereas clauses to highlight how the design team followed the terms of reference; 2. Deletion of brackets around 10%; 3. Deletion of the "speculative registration language"; and 4. Addition of an "extraordinary circumstances" exemption that carries with it a reporting requirement. Some comments: I do not yet have the IPC's instructions on this text, but do not anticipate significant objections. I believe that is true for Mike, too. The bracketed language reflects Tim's objection. I have left the language in for discussion proposes. The reasoning for the reporting requirement is that if a registrar experiences such an extraordinary circumstance that it warrants exemption from the application of consensus policy then it seems reasonable to provide ICANN and the registrant community with the information that the registrar is seeking an exemption and, if it is granted, the basis for it.
