Please find below my email to Bruce following his
interpretation/explanation of the para (2) of the Whois Motion One
voted on July 20 by the GNSO Council.

So far, I only received this email from the staff, Maria Farell, who
compiled the table. So please let me know your view.

 Hi Mawaki,

I think I have a clear idea of what's required for the summary. In
case I'm missing something, could we have a chat to go through it?

If there is any ambiguity, then I can circle back with Bruce.

I can call you tomorrow morning, your time, if that suits you. What
would be a good number to get you on?

All the best, Maria
