That was unintentional. The reference to the WG chair is fine with me. Tim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [council] Friendly amendments to VI motion From: "Mary Wong" <MWong@piercelaw.edu> Date: Mon, March 08, 2010 6:34 am To: <council@gnso.icann.org> Hi everyone For some reason I didn't get Tim's email proposing further amendments to the amended VI motion, so forgive me if I'm getting something wrong. I just wanted to ask Tim if he could explain the request. As I read it as forwarded to me, there seems a possibility that dropping the reference to the WG Chair from the first sentence raises the possibility that a WG member who is NOT the Chair could go directly to seek Council approval, bypassing the Chair whose role it is to achieve consensus amongst the WG.
