[council] FW: Letter from the GAC regarding IOC/RC Protections

[Maria Farrell]

John raises some important points in relation to the GAC's role vis a vis
the Council. I agree that this letter highlights the need for the GAC to
appoint a liaison.

The GAC, which of course advises the Board, has asked us for the
'rationale' for a Council decision. I would like to be helpful, but aside
from directing them to the relevant motion and its attached 'whereas'
sequence, what else is there?

As to the GAC's opinion that this relates to merely an implementation
issue, we have all seen in the last few weeks that 'implementation issues'
can be policy issues, depending on the strength of one's point of view and
wish to see that prevail.

As a practical matter regarding the rationale of the group of two dozen
people who voted, I don't see what we can provide, other than a link to the
motion(s) in question. Am I missing something?
