From: Chair, GNSO Council

Hello Vint,

Please pass onto the Board the following motion passed by the GNSO
Council in its meeting in Vancouver on Friday 2 Dec 2005.


"Whereas the GNSO constituencies participated in a review of the
proposed settlement and have detailed statements on issues of concern; 

Whereas the GNSO Council supports the conclusion of the litigation
between ICANN and Verisign; 

Whereas the GNSO Council does not support all articles within this
proposed settlement;

Whereas the GNSO Council believes that there are broader questions
raised in the proposed settlement that need to be first addressed by the
GNSO;

The GNSO Council resolves:

That the ICANN Board should postpone adoption of the proposed settlement
while the Council fully investigates the policy issues raised by the
proposed changes."

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
