RE: [council] DNSO General Assembly vote on two motions

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGA" <mcade@att.com>]

So, what my assessment is that less than 40 % of the GA voted. The second ballot got slightly more votes than the first.

The GA chair and alternate chair deserve our thanks for concluding this, so that the GA can go back to work, as we all are trying to do, focusing on policy issues and evolution and reform.

Thanks, Thomas and Alex.
