[ALAC] [At-Large] "placeholder" reps not placeholders?

[Alan Greenberg]

We are obviously looking at different documents. The one I am looking 
at is pointed to by the 30 July Board meeting report 
(http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-30jul09.htm). It is 
internally described as V2.0 dated 30 July 2009 and says:

8.2.3 Three Representatives Appointed by ICANN Board. The remaining 
three (3) GNSO Council representatives will be appointed by the Board 
as temporary placements, each serving two year terms, with the 
expectation that new Constituencies will form.

What version are you looking at?

Note that I am not arguing with the position that you and Beau are 
taking, just pointing at the documents that I can see.
