I accept this as a friendly amendment. Chuck From: Olga Cavalli [mailto:olgacavalli@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 7:06 PM To: Alan Greenberg Cc: Gomes, Chuck; Liz Gasster; Mason Cole Subject: Re: Suggested change to CCT motion Thanks Alan, as Chuck made the motion I will wait for his comments. Regards Olga 2010/6/22 Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> Chuck and Olga, On Chuck's suggestions, Mason and I have come up with a change to the CCT report which addresses my concerns. Liz and I discussed it and suggest a simple fix to the motion which will incorporate this change. The change replaces one sentence. The old sentence read: The CCT recommends that Working Group charters be drafted with careful attention to the issues or questions that should be considered and the outcomes desired. The replacement is: The CCT recommends that Working Group charters be drafted with careful attention to the issues and/or questions that should be considered and the goals/objectives desired to be accomplished in addition to desired timeframes. Note that this change is in line with the ALAC comment on the CCT report. Since the original motion already directs staff to "consider" the comment during implementation, this amendment simply removes the staff discretion on whether or not to honor the comment. As such, it is not in any way changing the intent of the original motion. Since I have no rights to make what is presumably a friendly amendment, I will leave to the two of you to take whatever formal action is necessary. To fix the motion, replace the current first RESOLVED: RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council approves the Final Consolidated Report http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/cct-consolidated-report-final-09apr10-en.pd f of the CCT, without further modification, and directs Staff to begin work on implementation. with: RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council approves the Final Consolidated Report http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/cct-consolidated-report-final-09apr10-en.pd f of the CCT, replacing the second sentence section 5.8 with "The CCT recommends that Working Group charters be drafted with careful attention to the issues and/or questions that should be considered and the goals/objectives desired to be accomplished in addition to desired timeframes.", and directs Staff to begin work on implementation.
