[registrars] Motion to amend voting procedures.

[Bob Connelly <rconnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Members:

During July of 2003, we voted on possible changes in balloting 
procedures.  Here were the results of that ballot:
VOTING BALLOT 01 Aug 2003
Post only the collective voting results, not individual results, and only 
at the conclusion of the voting period 21%
Post only the collective voting results, not individual results, during the 
entire voting period 7%
Post individual voting results, but only at the conclusion of the voting 
period. 24%
Continue to post individual voting results, during the entire voting 
period.  48%
More than half of our members voted *against* having the voting results 
during the voting period.  However, I have been directed to make them 
available for the present ballot for our new Chair.
MOTION:
I hereby move that we have a runoff election between the two proposals with 
the highest percentage of the prior vote, specifically:
1. Post individual voting results, but only at the conclusion of the voting 
period.
2. Continue to post individual voting results, during the entire voting period.

I seek five other Members to endorse this motion.  Here is the section of 
the Registrars Constituency Rules of Procedure dealing with endorsements to 
a motion:
2. Proponent must have five endorsements in order to file the motion.  Such 
filing is accomplished by sending the motion and list of endorsements by 
electronic means to the Constituency's Secretary.
end quote:

As I see it, any Member may offer an endorsement.   Memberships are held by 
ICANN Accredited Registrars who are also Members of the Constituency.  In 
other words, the endorsing *person* need not be the voting 
member.  Nonetheless, only one endorsement should be accepted from any 
Member Registrar.
I look forward to many happy endorsements:-)

Respectfully submitted by:

Robert Connelly, in my individual capacity as a representative of 
PSI-Japan, a Member of the Constituency.
