This should be exactly the sense of the proposed text. The Green Bank 
convention is already mentioned in the WCS papers, the WCS papers are part 
of the standard "per incorporation", and the proposed text NOW does 
nothing else that reporting a sentence from the WCS papers. So it simply 
reaffirms the status quo.

Therefore, unless more comments arise, I'd like to put it to a procedural 
vote in IAU FWG next week.
