Ross,

While it wasn't a vote respondents noted what formulation they supported.  I
too believe that Jordan's original text is accurate.

Thanks,
David

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.
