I agree that what (and whether) the Board can/will do if the GNSO Council decides to suspend a Board-initiated PDP is a separate question from what we're considering - how to deal with that will be up to the Council. I think that the present wording, as amended after Anne's comment, works and I support it.</font> </p>
