Thanks Wolfgang, As mentioned at the meeting in Costa Rica, I am unable to attend the meeting on the 26th and need to either appoint an alternate or to give another Councillor my proxy. Not sure of the protocol with this (alternate or proxy) - but given Konstantinos was also on the drafting team, Robin has suggested he be an alternate for me. Is this ok?

Unfortunately only for 30 minutes. Boarding started ;-(((. It was no so bad. Chuck and some other valuated in particular Avris comments as excellent and very useful, even if they were not ready to walk the walk. Indeed, the question was "Did the comments change your mind". And the answer was on both sides of the spectrum "No". I myself made also clear that the best solution would be to have no motion because everything is in the guidebook. I proposed that in case we have to eat the soup others have cooked, we have to make the text of the motion as neutral and general as possible to avoid the opening of a Pandora`s box and to restrict it to the first round and the top level. Chuck was arguing in a similar direction to look for a more neutral and general language. I argued that we can not come back with the same text on Monday. Something has to be changed. Chuck proposed to draft some new language. Then I had to leave the call. The redrafted text I have seen now is not satisfactory. With other words, if it comes to voting on Monday, we should consider to vote "NO". I also asked what the consequences of the GNSO Council vote would be. This is in the hands of the Board and the board has all options, including to ignore the GNSO Council. Real work will start later with the second level.

First, I asked everyone from the Drafting Team, whether, after review of the comments, their review of the comments changed their support or non-support for the recommendations submitted to the Council. that's funny. as if that bunch ever had the intention of changing it mind on anything. or even seriously considering the arguments of others. it does not sound as if they discussed any of the issues just checked the box for no, mind has not changed. what a load. avri
