We'd had a discussion with Goran prior to that session whereby all SO/AC chairs (and me as a proxy) cautioned that we couldn't make decisions, we don't have the authority. After the OEC left the room, we discussed what was within our authority to do (call in our reps and ask them what's going on). The lesson for me is that I I should have put a marker down to say "I can't say either way, I have to go back to the community".<div><br></div><div>Heather</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 29, 2017 at 8:02 PM, Chris Disspain <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris@disspain.uk" target="_blank">chris@disspain.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:'Verdana','Verdana';font-size:10pt;color:rgba(102,102,102,1.0)"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Heather,<div><br></div><div>I hope you don’t feel that my intervention at the Board/GNSO meeting was intended to be any criticism of you.
