<DIV>Thanks Darcy,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>as the GNSO (not the GNSO council) is one of the chartering organizations
Iād like to ask staff to make the motion consistent with this fact, in
particular the Wheras e. to g. and Res. a.</DIV>
<DIV>This would imply that the potential withdrawal was appropriately discussed
within the community.</DIV>
<DIV>I suppose this being friendly amendments.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I understand the motion the approval would mean that</DIV>
<DIV>- GNSO members could continue on their own to participate in the
CWG-IG</DIV>
<DIV>- there would be no longer a co-chair from the GNSO</DIV>
