[council] RE: [council] RE: [council] RE: [council] Re: Council vote on by-laws (from Stéphane)


Nothing has been communicated to the Board regarding the vote.  As Avri 
communicated in our call last week, each person who abstained was to be given 
an opportunity to confirm that their reason for abstaining was recorded 
accurately.  Glen sent a draft of the action on the motion with proposed 
abstention language to the applicable Councilors and we are still waiting for 
responses.

        Well, if that's the case and the Board know everything anyway, then why 
bother to have a vote at all???

         

        But as there was a vote, I would appreciate knowing what if anything 
has happened since.

        Perhaps we should create a drafting team?  Or a team to draft a charter 
for a drafting team?  We could be ready to report the vote in August...

         

        After all the public pronouncements and back channel communications, is 
there really any chance that the board does not know where the constituencies 
stand on the bylaws?  Why spend time negotiating how to package and spoon feed 
them things they already know?  Why not just report the vote per usual and move 
on?

        Does that mean we can all indicate how we would have voted to the Board?

         

        Avri - could you provide can update of where we are with this. Have you 
communicated anything at all to the Board regarding this vote yet?

         

        Tony

        I agree that Tim's approach is sensible. But if we're aiming for 
maximum transparency, I would also like it be recorded that in my message 
before the meeting stating I would be unable to participate, I said I would 
vote in favor. This may also be useful info for the Board.
        
        I'm not sure I can post to the Council list from this, my secondary 
email address, so perhaps one of you would be kind enough to forward this 
message to the Council list.
        
        Thanks,
        
        Stéphane

                Hi

                 

                Avri's proposed approach is sensible and would be NCUC's 
preference.  However, if there's overwhelming sentiment that differentiated 
reporting is needed, it would be better to respect board members' intelligence 
and dispense with the transparent spinning.  Tim's approach would be preferable 
in that context.

                        Would it be okay to report the vote something like this:

                         

                        13 Votes in favor:

                        Tim Ruiz (RrC) 2 votes

                        Chuck Gomes (RyC) 2 votes

                        Avri Doria (NCA) 1 vote

                        etc.

                         

                        1 Vote against:

                        Cyril Chua (IPC) 1 vote

                         

                        Abstained:

                        Kristina Rosette (IPC) Statement

                        William Drake (NCUC) Statement

                        Avri,

                         

                        Perhaps, in this sunset of the GNSO as we

                        have known it, you may see your way to

                        accomodating this rather simple request from

                        three of the existing constituencies.

                         

                        I beleive that all of us are trying to get the

                        restructuring process "right", and certain

                        issues are important to some rather than to

                        others. I think the Board deserves to be

                        aware of this.

                         

                        Thank you.

                                this request is about transparency and 
relevance.

                                It is a formal request from the BC.
