Abstract: This note answers a question of Kechris: if $H<G$ is a normal subgroup of a countable group $G$, $H$ has property MD and $G/H$ is amenable and residually finite then $G$ also has property MD. Under the same hypothesis we prove that for any action $a$ of $G$, if $b$ is a free action of $G/H$, and $b_G$ is the induced action of $G$ then $CIn{d}_H^G(a|H)imes{b}_G$ weakly contains $a$. Moreover, if $H<G$ is any subgroup of a countable group $G$, and the action of $G$ on $G/H$ is amenable, then $CIn{d}_H^G(a|H)$ weakly contains $a$ whenever $a$ is a Gaussian action.

This note answers a question of Kechris: if \(H<G\) is a normal subgroup of a countable group \(G\), \(H\) has the property MD and \(G/H\) is amenable and residually finite, then \(G\) also has property MD.
