[council] MOTION - To extend the term of the current GNSO Liaison to the GAC

[James M. Bladel]

There currently isn¹t a second to the motion, so I take these changes as
friendly and ask that Marika & team modify the WHEREAS 2 language
accordingly (the most recent version submitted by Wolf-Ulrich, below).
