To the best of my knowledge, the GNSO has not passed a formal motion
saying that they will participate in the Empowered Community (EC), and I
*KNOW* that the ALAC has not. I believe that the same is true for the
ccNSO.<br><br>
If and when we ratify Recommendation 1 describing the EC as including the
ALAC (as we have in our comments to the earlier drafts), we will de facto
have accepted out participation<br><br>

I am mildly surprised that you, as someone who has been very protective
of the right of the GAC to make its own decisions, is not upset with the
determination by the CCWG to make GAC a decisional participant by default
before it has actually made this decision for itself. <br>

Dear All,<br>
Yo are too worried about something that we still do not know how it
happens<br>
The text approriate and clearly mention that if the No of Decision Making
SO and AC changed the threshold should be adjusted <br>
That is more than sufficient.<br>
People need to refrain concentrating/ focussing on a particular AC nor
envisage all possible senarios.<br>
We are not wtritting Bylaws at this stage .<br>
There is ample time and competent individuals to look at the matter once
happened.<br>
Let us discontinue this counterproductive discussion<br>

Sorry, wrong. The assumption has been made and it is the same as the
assumption that was made in the Third, Second and First Draft Reports.
GAC is going to be listed in the fundamental bylaws as a decisional
participant in the Empowered Community. <br>
<br>
Huh? See below<br>
<br>
The only way that could change would be if GAC advised it did not wish to
do so. Same with any other group.<br>
<br>
Which they haven’t done yet. Ergo, my statement below was correct.

<dd>Whether one agrees with Brett or not, the fact remains that GAC has
explicitly told us that it is _undecided_ on whether to be a decisional
participant or not. Therefore, until we get a positive decision from
them, we cannot assume that they will be by default. Greg S. was saying
essentially the same thing:<br><br>
