Add: Update from ICANN Ombudsman
Herb Waye, the ICANN Ombudsman's background is in law enforcement and education.
The Ombudsman’s short term focus is outreach - developing and building on existing relationships and creating new ones to assist in the Ombudsman function.
The office of the ombudsman should not only be a complaint intake mechanism but more of a community resource for when relationships break down.
The community is encouraged to read the ‘Expected Standards of Behavior’ manual and to visit the Ombudsman's office to introduce themselves.
Herb Waye thanked the GNSO Chair, and the council for the opportunity to address them.
Item 2: Election of the Chair
James Bladel handed the chair to Heather Forrest who chaired this section of the meeting.
One nomination was received for this position, James Bladel from the Contracted Parties House. The GNSO Council held a question & answer session with the candidate on Friday, 4 November 2016 during the GNSO Working Session.
There were no questions or comments from the floor.
As approved by the Council, the vote was conducted by a show of hands and those participating remotely, namely Valerie Tan and Julf Helsingius, voted verbally.
- James Bladel was elected unanimously as GNSO Council Chair for the one-year term ending at the 2017 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
No GNSO Council vice-chair announcement was made.
Heather Forrest congratulated James Bladel on being elected GNSO Council Chair for a second term of office and handed the chair back to him to continue the Council meeting.
Item 3: Any Other Business
The following action items arose from interventions from the floor.
Action Items:
- Council to review and provide feedback on the proposed limited scope for the upcoming Whois Review
- Council to finalize response to Board letter on IGO/Red Cross protections (note: this may be covered by the Council’s response to the GAC Communique)
James Bladel adjourned the GNSO Council meeting and thanked everyone for their participation in the meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 17:00 IST (11:45 UTC)
The next GNSO Council Meeting will take place on Thursday, 1 December 2016 at 21:00 UTC.
