[council] Proposed motion on WHOIS

[Ross Rader]

I'd note that there is a 15 minute delay between the sending of this 
motion and the receipt of it. Coupled with the telephonic difficulties, 
I have been completely unable to follow this discussion.

As previously requested, I'd like to reiterate my request to take no 
action on this question until we've all had time to consider the inputs 
and potential implications.
