<div>As promised on our last call, here’s a first draft of our DT report. We have only 2 weeks to complete our implementation recommendations, so it’s time to see where we can find consensus.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>DT members are invited to comment on how I’ve described our work thus far, but I do hope that you’ll focus on the last page — how we move towards implementation recommendations. </div>

<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Except as otherwise specified in these Bylaws, Annex A, Annex A-1 or Annex A-2 hereto, or the GNSO Operating Procedures, the default threshold to pass a GNSO Council motion or other voting action requires a simple majority
vote of each House. </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">(Section 11.3 (i) )</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
</blockquote>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">The columns labeled “Test Cases" in this spreadsheet are there for you to contemplate scenarios where a majority (or even a supermajority) of Councilors agree, but where the "default threshold” could not be met. </font><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">H</font><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">ave
