[council] Proposed motion for Council meeting on Friday 3 Dec 2004

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

Here is a proposed motion for the Council meeting tomorrow.

"Whereas at the ICANN meeting in Tunisia (October 2003) the Board
resolved to change the transition article (Article XX) to allow three
representatives per constituency on the GNSO Council until the end of
the ICANN annual meeting 2004; and resolved to perform a review of the
GNSO Council in or around July 2004 which should include among other
aspects of the review criteria, an analysis of the efficacy of having
three representatives from each constituency on the GNSO Council.

Taking into account the draft of the external review report on the GNSO
Council, and the Council's self-review, the GNSO Council requests that
the ICANN Board extend the current arrangement of 3 representatives per
constituency until the ICANN meeting in Mar del Plata, Argentina (April
2005).   This will allow time for the external review to be completed
following a public comment period, allow time for ICANN to announce a
proposed change to the ICANN bylaws to allow three representatives per
constituency on an ongoing basis, and allow an appropriate period for
public discussion before changing the bylaws."

Regards,
Bruce
