I support this request.  If no report today, then I would appreciate one
from Staff very soon, as this problem has been ongoing for some time.

Thanks,

All,

With apologies for the short notice, I plan to request in AOB that the
Council receive from staff a brief report on the status of WPDRS.  I've
seen several messages in the past day or so regarding reported problems
with WPDRS.  Given the importance of the WPDRS to Internet users, it
would be helpful to have more information (e.g., whether there is a
problem, what the problem is, how long it has existed, when it will be
corrected).

of a vote on whether to initiate a PDP, forward a policy recommendation
to the Board, or fill a position open for election may vote by absentee
ballot. The GNSO Secretariat will provide reasonable means for
transmitting and authenticating absentee ballots, which could include
voting by telephone, e-mail, or web-based interface. Absentee ballots
must be submitted within 72 hours after the start of the meeting in
which a vote is initiated, except that in exceptional circumstances
announced at the time of the vote the Chair may reduce this time to 24
hours or extend the time to 7 days.
