"1. Raising an Issue

An issue may be raised for consideration as part of the PDP by any of the following:

b. Council Initiation. The GNSO Council may initiate the PDP by a vote of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the members of the Council present at any meeting in which a motion to initiate the PDP is made."

There were 15 voting Council members present, representing 20 votes. The 10 votes in favour represent 50%, while only 25% is required by the bylaws.

I hope this clarifies the situation.
Please let me know if you have other questions. The minutes will be out soon.

Thank you.
Kind regards,

Glen


Mawaki Chango a écrit :
Council,

My apologies I was finally not available to make it to today
teleconf as I had expected.

I just listened to the MP3. Regarding the item 5 (see below), my
count of the votes does not match the one you announced on the
call, Bruce, i.e. "10 votes in favor". I have counted 8 YES
(Bruce, Philip, Kristina, Mike, Ross, Alistair, Tony, and Greg),
6 NO (Avri, Robin, Norbert, Sophia, Chuck, and Edmond), and 1
Abstention (Thomas).

So I'd request that the correct results be confirmed (after
double-checking), and if relevant, the subsequent request of an
issue report on IGO names be reconsidered.
Thanks,

Mawaki

Item 5:  Motion to request issues report on protecting IGO names
and
abbreviations

Whereas, the GNSO Council recognizes the recommendation put
forward by
the IPC Constituency regarding possible measures in line with
WIPO-2 to
protect International Intergovernmental Organizations (IGO)
names and
abbreviations as domain names.

Whereas, the GNSO Council notes that measures to protect IGO
names and
abbreviations are requested in the GAC principles for New gTLDs.

Whereas, the GNSO Council notes that WIPO is the maintenance
agency for
the authoritative list of relevant IGO names and abbreviations protected
under Article 6ter of the Paris Convention
(http://www.wipo.int/article6ter/en/ ).

The GNSO Council requests that the staff produce an issues
report on the
policy issues associated with adequately handling disputes
relating to
IGO names and abbreviations as domain names.

The GNSO Council also requests that the staff liaise with WIPO
to
utilize its knowledge and experience of WIPO-2.
Bruce,
