[gnso-vi-feb10] Motion for June 23 Council Meeting

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

All,

In our last call, we had talked about my introducing a placeholder
motion for the Council's June 23 meeting.  I haven't done that yet b/c
(a) the deadline is tomorrow (not yesterday, as I originally thought);
and (b) I've been having difficulty coming up with points on which there
is consensus or, preferably, unanimity.  

It seems to me that, given where we are, the best use of any motion
would be for the Council to convey a "message" to the community and the
Board.  The best example I have (and it's not a great one) is what the
Council did w/r/t the RAA Amendments motion in March 2009:  "The Council
wishes to approve the set of proposed amendments as quickly as possible
so that the ICANN Board may review them, and if approved then implement
them as quickly as possible." The motion was preceded by several
Councilors' statements urging the Board to act as quickly as possible.

Are there any messages that the WG would like the Council to consider
sending? What are they?  Here's the VI WG agenda item for the Council's
June 23 meeting:
* Progress report (Roberto Gaetano &/or Mikey O'Connor or Margie Milam)
* Summary of discussion from the VI WG session on Saturday (Margie
Milam)
* Council questions?
* Next steps? 
-*-
To be clear, I have no strong feelings about such a motion. If we can
come up with message points, great.  If not, that's fine, too.
