[council] JAS update and deadline

[Adrian Kinderis]

Stephane,

How does it impact the tasks that are currently being worked on potential motions?

Also, is there an impact to backing this meeting up towards the ICANN Meeting in Dakar?

Hi

I support moving the call back two weeks to Thursday 22 September.  We've come this far with the process, let's let them finish it properly.

But a decision needs to be taken quickly and it needs to be very clearly stated that these are exceptional circumstances and that the Council will not alter it's calendar everytime a WG needs a little extra time.
