[council] IGO/RC motion

Mary, on the proposed modifications, it is fine 
to have Council discuss what changes to pass on 
to the WG. I am sure that for some, the answer is 
NO CHANGES!  But I thought that the point of this 
exercise was to consider what the NGPC is prepared to offer to the GAC.

In the case of the IGO change, the wording is 
considering a lot more that what *I* think the 
NGPC asked for (and therefore, in my opinion, 
will be a LOT harder to come to closure on). In 
the case of the RCRC, what is being proposed in 
the resolution is less than what the NGPC wants 
to propose (base on my reading).

So what we need is clarity on EXACTLY what the 
NGPC is asking for. Then we can decide to alter 
it or not. According to the page that Glen 
posted, this wording was written by staff. Can we 
please have confirmation that it is indeed what 
the NGPC meant (since it is not what they said as 
far as I can see). Or if it is not what they 
meant, can we have an alternative version.

This is going to be a difficult enough thing to 
carry out without this added level of confusion.
