Hi,
There is precedent for this. I know that I as well as other Nomcom
appointees where allowed such observer status when we were first
elected (we show up for a ICANN meeting but only take office at the
end of the meeting). I think we may have done this for others, but I
don't remember for sure.
So if there is no objection from any other councilor, I propose we
follow the Nomcom precedent and allow a council member-elect to
attend as an observer. I don't believe this requires a vote, but if
any council member objects to not voting on it, then I will call a
vote on this as a motion at the next meeting.
thanks
a.

Avri;
At the end of the AGM this year, the registrar representatives to
the Council will be changing. In order to better get our new
representative up to speed, I would like to request that he be
allowed to attend the Council teleconferences as a non-speaking,
non-voting observer. I realize that the MP3s are available, but I
think it would be more helpful if we could facilitate this in a
real-time manner.
Tim Ruiz is the incoming representative. As the former Vice-chair
of the registrar constituency, he is well versed in GNSO dynamics,
but is looking to get some further insight into council
interactions before he officially takes his seat.
I would really appreciate it if this can be facilitated somehow.
Thanks in advance,
