This isn’t true. I suggested an alternative way, which was to ask the IAOC to get the specified issues resolved to their liking without explicitly requiring the conclusion of a supplemental agreement, which is a very specific constraint on the format and outcome of the IAOC’s negotiations.

This was also the spirit of my suggestion, which is that we should indicate in the draft what the issue is to be resolved, but we should trust the IAOC’s judgment about how to get it resolved, which is the whole point of having the IAOC in the first place.

We can point out the issues to be resolved without constraining them to a specific way of resolving them, as my suggested text would do.
