FW: [council] RE: Voting on RAA Amendments Motion(s)

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

The Council has barely discussed the RAA amendments proposed by Staff and
the Registrars, yet we are asked to essentially approve them wholesale?  Why
are we asked to do that, and why would we do that?  In that scenario, one
constituency gets everything it wants done with the RAA, and nobody else has
a say.  

 

Might it be a better approach to form a group to determine which of the RAA
amendments have full consensus as written, which could have full consensus
if reworded, and which should be abandoned for now?  The group could then
suggest rewording of some amendments, and also lay out a plan for sequenced
requests for Issues Reports from Staff, and/or Working Groups, to address
any and all identified open issues.  Meanwhile the Board would understand
which of the amendments have full consensus and could approve those, and the
other Constituencies will have greater comfort that their issues with the
RAA will be addressed.

 

Thanks,

Mike

Yes, weighted voting would apply.  Thanks, Liz

Hi, 

During our wrap-up session in Cairo, I'd asked if weighted voting would
apply to votes on motions relating to the RAA Amendments.  I don't believe
I've received an answer yet. Could the appropriate staff person please let
me know?

Many thanks.
