<p align="LEFT">We have discussed pros and cons of giving weights to different groups and observed that Istanbul proposal has most of traction I.E. : 5 votes for ASO, GNSO, ccNSO, ALAC, GAC - 2 seats for SSAC, RSSAC. This is not the definitive discussion. The
variation of that will be provided in the report along with background for community to determine whether agree or would suggest alternatives. </p>
</top></span><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><top>
<p align="LEFT">With respect to community power to reject or veto budget/strategic plan, we need to make sure the community maintains control over both items. We need to be clear what terms we will use. We received confirmation from Council that we are those determining how to use
terminology and that it is not necessarily prescribed by statutory law. This discussion will be revisited once we have more clarity on community mechanisms. The group – however – supports voting threshold. </p>

<p align="LEFT">We have discussed pros and cons of giving weights to different groups and observed that Istanbul proposal has most of traction I.E. : 5 votes for ASO, GNSO, ccNSO, ALAC, GAC - 2 seats for SSAC, RSSAC. This is not the definitive discussion. The
variation of that will be provided in the report along with background for community to determine whether agree or would suggest alternatives. </p>

<p align="LEFT">With respect to community power to reject or veto budget/strategic plan, we need to make sure the community maintains control over both items. We need to be clear what terms we will use. We received confirmation from Council that we are those determining how to use
terminology and that it is not necessarily prescribed by statutory law. This discussion will be revisited once we have more clarity on community mechanisms. The group – however – supports voting threshold. </p>

<p align="LEFT">With respect to reconsider/reject changes to ICANN Bylaws, the group is in agreement with what is in the draft report.</p>
