[council] Point for Discussion (proxy voting)

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I am not sure if we will have time, but can put it under any other  
business and if everything goes quickly on contractual conditions and  
Whois, then we may get to it.  Otherwise I can carry over to the next  
meeting.  If there is no real discussion, it should be possible to  
get it done at this meeting.
