AW: [council] FW: Contracted Party House - election of Vice Chair of GNSO Council


Why not leaving a bit of flexibility to the houses in deciding at what time 
they may announce their resp. VC selection?
I understand that there is the question whether a chair candidate who is - 
after several rounds - not elected could be given a chance to stand for VC 
election, too. This should be taken into consideration by the houses.
Even in case one house has already announced their resp. VC and a further chair 
nomination and voting period appears to be necessary the procedures leave the 
flexibility to the houses to nominate their VC as chair candidate and select a 
VC from a different SG.
 
Don't feel confused - just use your flexibility and chances!

Sorry, but I'm a little confused. Since we are in the process of a second round 
of elections for the Chair position, shouldn't the Contracted Party House 
nomination/confirmation of its Vice-Chair be postponed till that is over?

[Gomes, Chuck] There is one major  problem with that approach Mary : If no 
chair is elected in the second round, 1) the vice chairs assume the Council 
leadership at the end of the AGM in Cartagena until such time as a chair is 
elected. and that could not happen if the vice chairs were not already elected, 
and 2) a new nomination period for chair cannot be initiated any sooner than 30 
days.  With this in mind, I trust that the Non-Contracted Party House is not 
waiting until a chair is elected before electing a vice chair.  I believe I 
mentioned in at least one previous meeting that the Houses needed to elect the 
vice chairs in time for them to lead the Council if needed.

 

(BTW I ask not because I necessarily anticipate a problem with the run-off 
ballot, but because the Operating Procedures contemplate the possibility of a 
further nomination and voting period in the event of an unsuccessful run-off 
ballot, and state that in that (or indeed in any) event a Chair and Vice Chair 
can't be from the same SG.)

[Gomes, Chuck] These are more issues that should be dealt with in the 
procedures.

 

Cheers

Mary
