Thanks Avri. I consider all of these friendly amendments, but would go with 'rough consensus of the Working Group' since the WG can't determine whether anything would have super-majority support of Council.

Hi Mike,
I would like to suggest 3 amendments, hopefully friendly, to this motion:
1. In the third Whereas Statement:
replace: Whereas, a majority of GNSO Council members have refused to support the set of proposed amendments as drafted, but many of those members support many of the proposed amendments.
with: Whereas, the GNSO Council did not reach super-majority support for the full set of proposed amendments as drafted though many members support many of the proposed amendments.
2. In the RESOLVED section, replace the use of 'full consensus' with either 'rough consensus' or 'super-majority support'
3. Add a line to the bottom of the motion stating:
The working group established by this motion will work according to the process defined in interim [working group process].
Thanks
a.

Whereas, the RAA has not been amended since inception, and there is widespread community support for amendments to various provisions of the RAA.
Whereas, the Registrars Constituency and ICANN Staff have agreed on a set of proposed amendments to the RAA, and that set of amendments has been considered for approval by the GNSO Council.
Whereas, a majority of GNSO Council members have refused to support the set of proposed amendments as drafted, but many of those members support many of the proposed amendments.
Whereas, the Council wishes to approve the non-contentious, proposed amendments agreed between Staff and the Registrars Constituency as quickly as possible so that the ICANN Board may review them, and if approved then implement them as quickly as possible.
RESOLVED:
The GNSO Council will form a fast-track Working Group to convene and discuss the proposed set of RAA Amendments, reporting back to Council within 30 days with answers to the following questions:
1. Which of the proposed amendments have full consensus as drafted?
2. Which of the proposed amendments would have full consensus if drafted differently, and what specific revisions are required to gain full consensus?
3. Which of the proposed amendments do not have consensus?
4. What other issues with the RAA are not addressed by the proposed set of Amendments?
