<br>
Councillors,<div><br></div><div>Following on from this proposed agenda, I
wanted to bring to your attention a situation which Glen, Mary, Jeff and I have
been faced with over the past few days.</div><div><br></div><div><div>As you
may know, Bill Clinton is speaking in the main ballroom early evening on the
same Wednesday we are due to have our Open Council
meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>The main ballroom, which was assigned to our
Council meeting (as usual for ICANN meetings) will therefore have to be closed
and security searched at 3pm.</div><div><br></div><div>As soon as I learned of
this, I asked if it was possible to move our meeting to the Wed morning in the
main ballroom. I was told it was not and we would be put in a smaller room for
our Open Council meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>My reaction to this is that
the GNSO is an important part of ICANN and that our Open meeting is an
important part of an ICANN meeting. No disrespect to President Clinton, which
we are all delighted and eager to listen to, but I am loath to see our Council
meeting moved to a smaller room to accommodate requirements that seem somewhat
removed from the reason we are all in SF, which is to carry out ICANN
business.</div><div><br></div><div>I put this to Mary and Jeff, who both agree.
Your Council Leaders have therefore asked our support staff to take this back
to the meeting planning staff so that an acceptable solution can be
found.</div><div><br></div><div>Therefore, please accept that the times and
venue of the proposed agenda shown below are subject to change. We are pushing
this and will report back as soon as we have something new on
this.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div> <span

font-family: Arial,sans-serif;" lang="EN-US">9. Except as otherwise specified
in these Bylaws, Annex A hereto, or the GNSO Operating Procedures, the default
threshold to pass a GNSO Council motion or other voting action requires a
simple majority vote of each House. The voting thresholds described below shall
apply to the following GNSO actions:<br>1. Create an Issues Report: requires an
affirmative vote of more than 25% vote of each House or majority of one
House;<br>2. Initiate a Policy Development Process (“PDP”) Within Scope (as
described in Annex A): requires an affirmative vote of more than 33% of each
House or more than 66% of one House;<br>3. Initiate a PDP Not Within Scope:
requires an affirmative vote of more than 75% of one House and a majority of
the other House (“GNSO Supermajority”);<br>4. Approve a PDP Recommendation
Without a GNSO Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a majority of
each House and further requires that one GNSO Council member representative of
at least 3 of the 4 Stakeholder Groups supports the Recommendation;<br>5.
Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority: requires an affirmative
vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and<br>6. Approve a PDP Recommendation Imposing
New Obligations on Certain Contracting Parties: where an ICANN contract
provision specifies that “a two-thirds vote of the council” demonstrates the
presence of a consensus, the GNSO Supermajority vote threshold will have to be
met or exceeded with respect to any contracting party affected by such contract
provision.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;
