That sounds reasonable to me, especially if it will get unanimous approval of the interim procedures. Tim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [council] Motion to Adopt Updated Council Operating Procedures From: "Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@cov.com> Date: Sat, October 24, 2009 7:51 pm To: <council@gnso.icann.org> All, It is my understanding from our discussion yesterday that we had rough consensus on voting to adopt the updated Council Operating Procedures, but to state in the motion that certain areas remain outstanding (e.g., abstentions) and to require that those areas be priority work to be completed by a date certain. Two questions: 1. Is that correct? 2. What areas, other than abstentions, remain outstanding? I'll start drafting a substitute motion once I've heard back from enough of you so that I'm comfortable I'm on the right track. K
