Ross, Ken, Council
I fully support Ross's guidance here. My initial paragraph of explanation was only intended to explain the consequences of the stability and operational issues to those who may be un familiar with the issue.
I attempted with the resolution itself (repeated below) - the only part that need go forward to ICANN staff manager - to word it neutrally.

Draft resolution
Whereas the re-selling of certain deleted or expiring names has lead to unforeseen strains on the ability of registries and registrars to manage their business efficiently,
Whereas this affects the service level provided to users and the meaning of ICANN accredited as it applies to registrars,
Council resolves,
to request the ICANN staff manager to write an issues report (as specified in annex A to the ICANN by-laws) on the "Re-selling of valuable deleted/expiring domain names in a secondary market", so that Council can subsequently decide if a policy development process would be appropriate.
