Thomas, León and Mathieu,

Thanks very much for transmitting this proposal.  I have forwarded it to the rest of the Board.  We will process it later today at the public board meeting.

We will say thanks several more times, but we’ll start now: Thank you and everyone on the CCWG and all of the people who worked on this.  This is a very good day.

Steve

Each of the Chartering Organizations’ approval and statement is recorded as follows, in order received:

It represents a carefully crafted balance between key requirements, specific legal advice, and significant compromises by all who participated and includes diligent attention to the input received through the Public Comment proceedings. Prior to submitting to the Chartering Organizations for their approval, the Work Stream 1 Report received the consensus support within the CCWG-Accountability itself, with five minority statements recorded in Appendix A of our Report, and available here.

For your information, comprehensive further background documents and reference materials are available here.
