Rafik,

You may not have the authority to change it but 
you in your role of GNSO Council Liaison, you do 
have the authority to being the request to the 
Council Chair and the Council.  This report not 
being considered by the Council until September 
is fine. Perhaps there can be a smaller extension 
and then use the mechanisms you suggest.

On those, a Wiki link is NOT acceptable. The 
statements need to be integrated into the report.

I STRONGLY suggest that past whatever the initial 
publication deadline is, you publish a REVISED 
report incorporating new statements no less than 
once a week. That way whenever someone pulls the 
report, they get the most recent version. The 
effort to insert a statement and recreate the PDF 
is minimal and this gives the minority statement the respect that they are due.

Alan
