explicit clarification and commitment from the Board that, if the GAC cannot decide or chooses not to become a decisional participant, that the Board would support lowering the thresholds for exercising all EC powers to avoid the requirement for SOAC unanimous
support to exercise those powers. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

applied to the above situation. I believe now, before a final decision is made, is the time to clarify that matter.
