I agree with Adrian and with Chuck's suggestion below.

Other than that it is probably best that the new Councilors are there as observers unless there is a discussion topic that specifically involves them. Chuck

Hi,

Sorry if i was unclear. i was suggesting that they be there as observers. But I was not explicit in the part I wrote for that message, only in the part I included from a previous message.

BTW, 'as observers' normally means, in a GNSO context, that they can participate just not vote or make motions.

I object to them joining as Councillors.

They should be there as observers only.

I should mention that Andrey has been added to this list (as all newly appointed/elected council members will be), and I welcome him. Of course the incoming council members are

list until 28 October. In keep with our normal processes, I invite the new council members to participate on the list as fully as they feel ready to with voting and the making of motions being the only exceptions.

I would like to suggest that incoming council members also be invited to join the next Council call on on 8 October.

Since this is not part of the normal process, I want to confirm that there are no objections.

thanks
