6.1 Proposed recommendations (Stéphane Van Gelder)
* The Sunday dinner is a good socializing event.
* Another session with the Board should be held during the ICANN meeting week.
- This should be scheduled before the Sunday dinner, perhaps as a 1-hour
session on Sunday at 4pm.
- The dinner should happen off-site, but somewhere close to the venue, at 6pm,
on the first Sunday of the ICANN meeting week.
- A structured agenda is required to make the 4 pm session work, and to ensure
broad attendance. This should be worked on by the GNSO Council through advance
planning and liaising with the relevant entities.
* Unless anyone objects, this group should be disbanded after our Sept 8
meeting and Glen may close the group's email list.
6.2 Discussion
Note: Target date for completion of work and submission of input to Stéphane &
Glen for schedule planning: 15 September

Item 9: Other Business (5 Minutes)
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.
