[council] Proxy voting

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@xxxxxx>]

Background
Proxy voting is not allowed under the current by laws.
A request to the Board amend the bylaws is possible.
Council agreed to await the publication of the next GNSO review report
 
Update
There is not a word on proxy voting in the October 15 report from the BGC WG.
 
Proposal
Council request staff to write a short options paper on conditions for proxy 
voting (eg who
can hold the proxy, how many proxies, notification of proxy, withdrawal of 
proxy etc).
Staff can consider the old DNSO proxy voting guidelines as a starting point. 
(They worked
well and were not abused.)
Council discusses the options and then instructs staff to draft a resolution to 
request of
Board the preferred option.
