Re: [council] Point for Discussion
hi,
Yes, it either needs to come from the board. Or if, as requested,
the board enables the GNSO council to amend some of it own procedures
during the course of their BGCWG recommendations, then we will be
able to do it ourselves.
If the council wishes to proceed on this before getting the final
board decisions on GNSO reform, we could craft a formal request for
the change. It might be best to offer specific language we would
like to see. I can put this on the next meeting's agenda if so
desired.

I agree that we should reform the bylaws to permit proxy voting,
and it sounds like this initiative would have to come from the
Board, so perhaps we should have a conversation with the Board on
this issue.

As far as I remember passing on a proxy during a meeting was quite
common back in the days where we still had this possibility. Given
that we are all volunteers, having a regular day job, there is not
always time to attend every meeting, hence a simple proxy option
is certainly desirable. At least from my recollection there was no
misuse of that practice.

Ross, why the limitation that proxy must be passed 'prior to the

of the meeting'? I have seen several times where a Councilor
was at a
meeting but needed to leave before it ended, and sought at that
point to
give a proxy (which I believe we have accepted that proxy vote
on at
least a couple occasions).
I'm not sure where that specific practice came from, it was just
the way we did it :)
Glen might be able to provide better insight though.
