[council] Consent agenda issue :IGO-INGO Report to board

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

First, apologies for only reading this report now in preparation for the 
meeting and not when it first came out.

In reading the report I am troubled by the lack of any real mention of 
the Minority Statements.  While it is mentioned that there were minority 
statements, there is little to no mention of the subject of those 
minority statements.

While it is true that the fully diligent Board member may go looking for 
these minority statements based on the cross reference, for the most 
part, I believe that fact will be missed by several at least.

I think that at least one sentence abstract on the subject manner of 
each of these minority statements should be included in this report, 
yest another table. I believe this should be a standard practice for all 
Board reports given the important part minority statements play in ICANN 
policy processes.

I have just begun to discuss this issue with my fellow council members 
from the NCSG so at this point am just speaking on my own behalf of my 
discomfort with this report, in its current state, being on the consent 
agenda.  I did not wish to wait until they considered this however, 
because of the tardiness with which I am making the request that this be 
removed from the consent agenda until such time as the report is 
modified or we have at least discussed the issue.

thanks and renewed apologies
