Hi, On consideration I will accept your proposal as a friendly amendment as stated below. I have also accepted Chuck's friendly amendment on your friendly amendment as well. It is also my assumption that Ross' proposed amendment remains on the table and will be voted on before the motion as amended. I must note that my original motion was never properly seconded. Does anyone second this motion? The proposed amendment, has however, been seconded. I am assuming that now both the original Mike Rodenbough (BCUC) motion and the counter motion by Ross Rader are now off the table. thanks ---------------------- Proposed motion to finish Whois work as amended by Mike Rodenbaugh for vote on Sept 06, 2007 Whereas; 1.

The BC also had a motion pending, seconded by the IPC. We will rescind that motion in favor of this compromise motion that incorporates BC, IPC and GAC request for an additional factual study, and requests updates on ongoing ICANN studies, to incorporate that information into the process suggested by Avri's motion.
Please see attached. I am not sure if Avri would consider this a friendly amendment to her motion. But otherwise we suggest it as an alternative.
