Note Mawaki that even if your count is correct, the motion would still pass because only 25% is needed, which I believe would be 7 (25% of 27 = 6.75).

Council,
My apologies I was finally not available to make it to today teleconf as I had expected.
I just listened to the MP3. Regarding the item 5 (see below), my count of the votes does not match the one you announced on the call, Bruce, i.e. "10 votes in favor". I have counted 8 YES (Bruce, Philip, Kristina, Mike, Ross, Alistair, Tony, and Greg), 6 NO (Avri, Robin, Norbert, Sophia, Chuck, and Edmond), and 1 Abstention (Thomas).
So I'd request that the correct results be confirmed (after double-checking), and if relevant, the subsequent request of an issue report on IGO names be reconsidered. Thanks,
Mawaki
Item 5: Motion to request issues report on protecting IGO names and abbreviations
Whereas, the GNSO Council recognizes the recommendation put forward by the IPC Constituency regarding possible measures in line with WIPO-2 to protect International Intergovernmental Organizations (IGO) names and abbreviations as domain names.
Whereas, the GNSO Council notes that measures to protect IGO names and abbreviations are requested in the GAC principles for New gTLDs.
Whereas, the GNSO Council notes that WIPO is the maintenance agency for the authoritative list of relevant IGO names and abbreviations protected under Article 6ter of the Paris Convention (http://www.wipo.int/article6ter/en/ ).
The GNSO Council requests that the staff produce an issues report on the policy issues associated with adequately handling disputes relating to IGO names and abbreviations as domain names.
The GNSO Council also requests that the staff liaise with WIPO to utilize its knowledge and experience of WIPO-2.
Bruce,
