Thanks Tomslin.  Thanks Anne.

 

I have no problem with the concept of sending these along – nothing to hide or be ashamed of.  We had all but 2 get on board, pretty good!  But I find the method confusing. As written, I’m concerned that the Board might think that we, as a Council, have made these views part of the Recommendation.  How about:

 

  1. The GNSO Council approves the Supplemental Recommendation for the non-adopted SubPro recommendations related to Topic 24: String Similarity Evaluations set forth on Annex 1 and instructs the GNSO Secretariat to transmit the Supplemental Recommendation to the ICANN Board.
  2. The GNSO Council has been made aware of the Minority and Plurality Views and, while not adopted by the Council, instructs the GNSO Secretariat to transmit the Supplemental Recommendation to the ICANN Board for the Board’s information.

Best,

Paul

Hi councilors,

 

I'd like to support the friendly amendment put forward by Anne, in the spirit of letting the Board know the discussions that took place, like we discussed in our August council meeting.

 

Warmly,

Tomslin

Thank you Paul and all team members as well as staff!.  I propose a friendly amendment to the Motion as shown below in red:

 

  1. The GNSO Council approves the Supplemental Recommendation for the non-adopted SubPro recommendations related to Topic 24: String Similarity Evaluations set forth on Annex 1 and instructs the GNSO Secretariat to transmit the Supplemental Recommendation (with Minority and Plurality Views) to the ICANN Board.

I am advised that per the ByLaws, even though I am non-voting, I can suggest this friendly amendment and I think that is the intention of the Motion - just want to make sure the Council is on record about that.

Anne

Dear Fellow Councilors,

 

It is with great happiness that I attach the motion from the Small Team Plus on the issue of Singulars & Plurals. I’m looking forward to our discussion on this motion, and hopefully positive vote, on our next Council call.

 

I would like to commend the diligent work of the members of the Small Team Plus in reaching a conclusion to our work. I’d also like to say a special thank you to Julie Hedlund and Steve Chan for helping us get this across the finish line.  Both are tireless and creative and we are lucky to have them.

 

Best,

Paul
