Dear council members, With regards to my motion for item 7 on the agenda for our meeting on 20 April 2017 - "Approval of GNSO Nominees for the Registration Directory Services Review Team", please be aware that there is a possibility that the motion might be changed or withdrawn before our meeting. The draft motion is based on a "soft" consensus in the SSC, one where a deadline was set for any objections (rather than making sure we had positive agreements from all members). After that deadline, some issues were raised, and we are trying to resolve them, but in worst case a consensus can't be reached in time for our council meeting, in which case I will have to withdraw the motion.
