Thanks Avri for leading with proposed motions on all these issues, and for all your hard work for Council. While I am in agreement with community concerns about 'excessive delay' in resolving any new WHOIS policy, I feel strongly that 18 days (Jan 7 to 25) is not enough time for Constituencies to have proper discussion and scoping of proposals for study. I think the BC could live with 30 days, so all the dates after Jan 7 would move forward 12 days, if that is acceptable to the majority of Council.
