There was broad agreement at the Council level that the proposal as it stood
required significant development before the Council could consider
recommending it as policy to the ICANN Board.

That's one interpretation. My recollection of the council and surrounding discussions was that with some additional effort, there was an opportunity to make room for a compromise with law enforcement interests which would likely also be sufficient to address the majority of concerns we were hearing from the GAC. The net effect of which would be to put the Council in a position to proceed with a policy recommendation, despite the irresponsible actions of the intellectual property community over the history of this issue.

Of course, as I pointed out, this is a matter open to interpretation.
