First of all, it is not a re-worded motion, but a counter-proposed text for
the GA to vote on. You approached me with a voting text, that I did not
find representative of my motion and the published text was my response.
Debate over this text is possible, but if we don't get anywhere, you have
to stick with my original motion.

The ICANN Board (in accepting the NC's

I do not think that the referral by the Board back to the other
constituencies (the NC) of a task that is the responsibility of the Board
itself is sufficient. 
The Polling of the GA on this point is therefore not redundant.

No. This is a simple  reference to the fact that *A* previous application
has been lodged.
You can leave it out, if you consider it an embarrassment for the Board to
be reminded of this fact by a GA resolution.
It is not material to the Polling question.

 Why should the GA be advocating on

Using the word "again" is in itself not "advocating" or "taking sides".

 Perhaps another representative body will emerge...there are many

This is the result of a smear campaign that apparently has gotten to you too.

 Is it

I hope that by now you are aware that the Polling Formulations are not a
revised motion.


>Speaking as an Individual,

Danny, please, a little less speaking for yourself and a little more acting
as Chair will help the GA forward. 
This is the job for which you have been elected and this is what is
expected of you.
