"RESOLVED," -- KAND THEN, JOHN, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO READ THE RESOLUTION, SINCE I DIDN'T RECORD YOUR NEW LANGUAGE.

>>JOHN JEFFREY: CERTAINLY.

"RESOLVED, THE PRESIDENT IS DIRECTED TO ASSIGN STAFF FOR THE PURPOSE OF REPORTING ON DEVELOPMENT OF THE GLOBAL POLICY PROPOSAL ON IPV6 IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE I OF THE BOARD'S REVIEW PROCEDURES FOR GLOBAL INTERNET NUMBER RESOURCE POLICIES, AND INSTRUCTS THE ICANN CEO TO ASSIGN STAFF FOR THE PURPOSES OF INFORMING ALL ICANN SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES, ESTABLISHING AN ICANN WEB PAGE TO BE KEPT UP-TO-DATE, AND COMPILING A BACKGROUND REPORT TO BE KEPT UP-TO-DATE ON THE GLOBAL POLICY DEVELOPMENT.

>>VINT CERF: THAT'S IT?

OKAY.

ARE THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS?

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THIS RESOLUTION?

>> RICHARD THWAITES: YEAH, VINT, SORRY, THE SYNTAX IS A BIT SCREWY THERE. IT STARTS OFF, "THE PRESIDENT IS DIRECTED," AND IT THEN TALKS ABOUT LATER, "INSTRUCTS THE CEO."

SO CAN WE JUST HAVE THAT CONSISTENT SYNTAX THERE?

>>VINT CERF: YEAH, WE SHOULD SPEAK OF -- EITHER IT'S THE PRESIDENT OR THE CEO, BUT WE SHOULDN'T MAKE IT SOUND LIKE THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT PARTIES -- EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW THAT PAUL TWOMEY HAS A SPLIT PERSONALITY -- AND THAT'S REFLECTED IN THE DIFFERENT TITLES.
