https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-ccoici/2023-April/000317.html</a> and attached): from the GNSO Framework for Continues Improvement: “Where full consensus is not achieved, the report/recommendations to the GNSO Committee and/or GNSO Council should clearly
 outline the efforts that were undertaken to try and achieve full consensus and the reasons for why this was not achieved”. The TF achieved full consensus on all but one essential element, namely whether there should be an exemption from disclosing who someone
 is representing in the case of professional ethical obligations that would prevent such disclosure.
