RE: [council] Proposed agenda for the GNSO Council meeting on 15 July 2010
Thanks for the info Wolf. I would just ask that all SGs do the best they can.
I recognize that the CSG has the added challenge of involving three different
constituencies.
We just need to recognize that the Council must finalize the slate of
candidates not later than 26 August, our second meeting in August. So, at a
minimum we will have to map out a plan for doing that in our 5 August meeting.
If we do not have a complete slate of SG endorsements by then, I think we will
have to plan for some intermediate steps before our 26 August meeting so that
we are prepared to finalize the full slate on the 26th.

Chuck,
it seems that due to the low interest of potential applicants so far and the
related reminder sent out late applications may come in (hopefully). So the CSG
doesn't see a reason to start discussion before the end of the application
period. Depending on the application pool available after 15 July it may be
possible - but not for sure - that the CSG could submit their recommendation
prioe to the deadline (05 Aug).
Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich

Betreff: RE: [council] Proposed agenda for the GNSO Council meeting on

I understand Wolf. Here is the dilemma we have: the GNSO endorsements
are due the end of August (45 days after the end of the application period);
our next two Council meetings after the end of the application period are 5 &
26 August; if the Council decides to attempt to improve diversity of the GNSO
slate that will likely require two meetings, one to make that decision and then
another one to approve any additional endorsements. One way of getting around
that this time around would be to have a special Council meeting in between the
5th and 26th but that might be especially difficult in August because of
Councilors being on holiday.
How much time does the CSG process require after the end of the
application period? Is it possible to start the process before the application
period ends for those candidates who submit their application early in the
period?
Any suggestions you or others have are very welcome. Of course all of
this is not an issue if the Council does not decide to improve the diversity of
the slate. Also, in future rounds the 45 days may work out better. It all
depends on how our scheduled Council meetings correspond to the end of the
application period. In this case, we have a Council meet on the same day the
period ends.

Chuck and all,
under item 3.1: "SG endorsements & any alternates are needed by 28 July
2010"
This is inconsistent with the process adopted by Council, which clearly
states:
As soon as possible and no later than 21 days after the deadline for
applications [i.e., in this case, August 5], the stakeholder groups will inform
the Council of their endorsements, based on their own internal deliberative
procedures.
The CSG process for making endorsements has been set up accordingly.
Regards
Wolf-Ulrich

9.1
Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws,
Article X, Section 3)
9. Except as otherwise specified in these Bylaws, Annex A
hereto, or the GNSO Operating Procedures, the default threshold to pass a GNSO
Council motion or other voting action requires a simple majority vote of each
House. The voting thresholds described below shall apply to the following GNSO
actions:
1. Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of
more than 25% vote of each House or majority of one House;
2. Initiate a Policy Development Process ("PDP") Within Scope
(as described in Annex A): requires an affirmative vote of more than 33% of
each House or more than 66% of one House;
3. Initiate a PDP Not Within Scope: requires an affirmative
vote of more than 75% of one House and a majority of the other House ("GNSO
Supermajority");
4. Approve a PDP Recommendation Without a GNSO Supermajority:
requires an affirmative vote of a majority of each House and further requires
that one GNSO Council member representative of at least 3 of the 4 Stakeholder
Groups supports the Recommendation;
5. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority:
requires an affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and
6. Approve a PDP Recommendation Imposing New Obligations on
Certain Contracting Parties: where an ICANN contract provision specifies that
"a two-thirds vote of the council" demonstrates the presence of a consensus,
the GNSO Supermajority vote threshold will have to be met or exceeded with
respect to any contracting party affected by such contract provision.
Appendix 2: Absentee Voting Procedures (Council Operating
Procedures 4.4)
Members that are absent from a meeting at the time of a vote on
the following items may vote by absentee ballot:
1. Initiate a policy development process;
2. Forward a policy recommendation to the Board;
3. Recommend amendments to the ICANN Bylaws;
4. Fill a position open for election.
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 following 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. There must be a quorum for the meeting in which the vote is initiated.
