Tue Jun 24 09:24:22 UTC 2008

Makes sense to me.

	Chuck, 

	Thank you, this is helpful.  I think we are in agreement that we
want to base the motion on the Board resolution - so drop the
introductory 'Whereas it is expected that ICANN Board of Directors will
adopt recommendations for GNSO "Improvements' and go straight to the
Board resolution,  - quoting the relevant section.

	Ute, 

	Here is the wording of the resolution by the Board: "Resolved
(2008.02.15.03), the ICANN Board directs staff to open a public comment
forum for 30 days on the GNSO Improvements Report, draft a detailed
implementation plan in consultation with the GNSO, begin implementation
of the non-contentious recommendations, and return to the Board and
community for further consideration of the implementation plan. "

	It doesn't seem like your proposed change is terribly
significant to me, but I don't understand why you would want to delete
something that was in the passed resolution.  Maybe what we should do is
quote the resolution (as copied above) in its entirety.

	Chuck

		Avri, 

		Chuck, 

		While this motion is still up in the air (apologies if I
have missed a consolidated version) let me suggest a further change.  I
propose to leave out the first phrase and start directly with: 

		'Whereas the Board resolution directed ICANN staff..'.
That would make it (editing your initial text - without  prejudice to
also including further changes you propose below): 

		 Whereas Board resolution 2008.02.15.03 directed the
ICANN Staff in consultation
		> with  GNSO  to develop an implementation plan
		>
		> And whereas such a plan was developed by the Planning
Team composed of
		> staff and GNSO members working jointly and in
cooperation,
		>
		> Therefore:
		>
		> The GSNO Council approves the Framework defined in
GNSO Improvements -
		> Top Level Plan of 21 June 2008 prepared by the GNSO
Improvements
		> Planning Team as documented in (url) and request that
constituencies
		> and nomcom appointees begin the task of naming
representatives to
		> serve in the two Standing Committees as defined in the
Top Level Plan.
		>

		The reason for this proposed change is that a 'whereas'
of course states the basis for a motion, i.e. something that is done and
established.  I see no merit in stating an expectation as the basis for
a motion and would feel more comfortable supporting the motion in this
shorter version. 

		Best wishes

		Ute

		You are correct Avri but some may remember the goal in
the plan.  Your call.

		Hi Chuck,

		I have no problem adding 'by 27 June' to the end of the
last sentence 
		as this is the date indicated in the plan, though I
thought the last 
		sentence had already covered it by stating.

		"... request(s) that constituencies and nomcom
appointees begin the 
		task of naming representatives to
		serve in the two Standing Committees as defined in the
Top Level Plan.

		Or are you suggesting anther change I am not
understanding?

		thanks

		a.
