> NOTE REGARDING AMENDMENT SOUGHT By Vivek Durai:
> The basis used for the amendment sought to extend the meaning of
> the existing Resolution well beyond the scope it was originally
> intended to reach - raising a new issue about whether or not the
> organization ought to be known by a name that includes *any* TLD
> extension or not. The original Resolution sought only to
> eliminate .com from the name, but did not go so far as to comment
> on the elimination or retention of any other TLD, including the
> .org as part of the organizations' name.
>
> Although two Panelists supported the amendment, others objected,
> hence the Panel's position on this was by no means clear at the
> time and is still not.
>
> And since the amendment did not seek to annul the essential
> meaning of the original Resolution, only to extend it, there was
> no reason to stop a vote going ahead which had already commenced.
>
> A separate Proposal would now have to be presented, such proposal
> providing an explanation as to why such a course of action is
> deemed necessary.
