The main part of the report can be had by reading the transcript from
that meeting.  It is found at:
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/transcript-council-19mar15-en.pdf>

I suggest that anytime you are curious about what happened in the
council meeting, you check out the transcript.  It get posted rather
quickly.  If you have an specific questions after reading the
transcript, I will be happy to answer if I know the answer, or else will
find it.  If the group have any issue they want me to take the council,
I am ready and waiting.  And if I have a subject on which I feel it is
necessary to communicate to the group as the liaison, I will do so.

I have appended the appropriate section of the transcript below for your
convenience.

As Mary said, they are working on the motions.

In other words nothing to report.
