We have already heard from the chair of the GNSO that this is not a vote. Using the word "favored" implies a majority position. This is inappropriate wording for this slide.

A more compatible wording would be to state:

* Recently concluded public comment period. Received approximately 45 responses. Submissions summarized and included in final report to Council.

The slide is factually correct and I believe should remain as Jordyn has
drafted it. Jordyn, aren't you going to miss this?????

Thanks Jordyn for putting this together. Hope everyone's travels to NZ were uneventful.

Jordayn, I see these slides as a continuation of Vancouver, and
appreciate the updating you have done.  That said, I strongly object to
the line on Slide 8 (Status of Work).  "*Recently concluded public
comment period.  Received approximately 45 responses; most favored
Formulation #2"

I think this leave a very incomplete impression. If we wanted to say
that "strong comments were submitted by both sides, with leading
organizations weighing in for both formulations." that would be fine.


Or if we wanted to take the following lines line from our Final Report,
that would be fine too:
       "The comments show a division in the community, with 9
respondents expressing support for Formulation 1 and 33 respondents
supporting Formulation 2.  A number of the comments supporting
Formulation 2 featured similar argumentation and structure which may be
the result of one or more constituencies encouraging participation and
responses during the public comment period."

It's a long sentence, but it is accurate and already agreed upon and
published. (and the issue is worthy of a little extra space and discussion).


Thanks, Kathy

        Please find attached my first draft of the slides for the Public
Forum.
        
        I'm glad to make further edits, or if people in Wellington want
to
        co-ordinate any changes, that's fine as well.
        
        We should probably designate someone to give the presentation in
        Wellington.  Any volunteers?
