I'm a bit confused - are these 10 names to simply get this motion onto the 
table so that it may be discussed and ultimately (perhaps) voted upon?  Or 
is this a vote on the motion itself?

I'm all for the former (i.e. putting it onto the table for discussion) and 
if that's what we're doing then count me as a "yes".

But if we're talking about the merits of the motion itself - I'm not ready
to say yes or no.  (In fact, because of my role within ICANN, I'll
probably abstain.)
