Grec
Congratulations that people paid attention to your copied proposal and pity that my proposal did not get ANY ATTENTION
This is the life people usually consider the Song and not the Singer.
You seemed to believe that my proposal made much earlier from me fid not get any attention because came from me. Thus you associate importance to the Singer not the Song no matter how beautiful and lovely the song would be and how....,,the singer would be.
 We are living in a strange world?!!!
By the way I am discovering your 
Great generosity allowing me  to use the proposal that you copied from be.
I was not aware of that generosity

We are not running under any parliamentary motion rules (e.g., Robert's Rules of Order) that might possibly provide for such a concept.  As such, any attempt to "withdraw" a proposal up for consideration must be deemed null and void and of no effect.

It was my email that initiated discussion of the 60% proposal.  Therefore, I think it should more appropriately be called my proposal in any event.  I graciously allowed it to be called "Kavouss's proposal"; however, based on the facts, that is clearly a misnomer, since the work of the group is based on my email.  I would therefore request that the 60% proposal henceforth be called "Greg's Proposal."

In such cases, the GAC remains free to participate in community deliberations in an advisory capacity, but its views will not count towards or against otherwise agreed thresholds needed to initiate a conference call,  convene a Community Forum, or exercise a specific Community Power.  This carve out preserves the ICANN Board’s unique obligation to work with the GAC try to find a mutually acceptable solution to implementation of GAC Advice supported by consensus (as defined  in Rec. #11) while protecting the community’s power to challenge such Board decisions.
