[council] Proposed amendments to CCWG-IG motion

All,

to my understanding there is agreement that

  * a replacement model to the CCWG-IG is to be found and
  * that the IG related work can continue uninterrupted

I personally have some doubts whether the work can be done uninterrupted 
in case one or more of the chartering organizations withdraw _before_ 
the replacement body is in place. The uncertainty of this date makes it 
difficult to set an automatic withdrawal. If the council is supposed to 
not just "consider" the new model at ICANN 61 (res. clause 3 of the 
motion) but to "approve" it or evaluate it as feasible this would 
facilitate the withdrawal.

My suggestion:

    re clause 3:

    The GNSO Council requests that members of the CCWG-IG and others
    interested parties come together to explore a framework / model that
    more fully addresses the concerns that have been expressed by the
    GNSO Council, and submit this framework / model to the GNSO Council
    for its consideration by(a date before ICANN61)

    re clause 5:
    the GNSO Council shallwithdrawas a Chartering Organization from the
    CCWG-IG at the conclusion of upon approval of the new model at ICANN 61

Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich
