RE: [council] GNSO Council Agenda 8 September 2010 at 15:00 UTC
Thanks for the new Pending Project List, it is very useful.
I have a question about the Fast Flux item. As the document notes, the PDP
is done and a Final Report was issued and approved by Council. So why does
it seem to be back for Council to form a team to consider the
recommendations? Shouldn?t the Staff form a team to implement the
recommendations?

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
6.3 Next steps?

9.2 Charter Correction for JAS WG (SO/AC gTLD Applicant Support)
The GNSO Council voted for the motion "20100520-3" which includes links
redirected to the version of the Working Group Charter containing only 4
objectives (in GNSO page
http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/draft-jas-wg-charter-12may10-en.htm) while the
correct version of the charter contains 5 objectives (see Wiki:
https://st.icann.org/so-ac-new-gtld-wg/index.cgi?so_ac_new_gtld_applicant_su
pport_working_group)
and the GNSO website link:
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/jas/draft-jas-charter-24may10-en.pdf
The missing objective, number 5 which is on the Wiki page and on the
website:
Objective 5: To identify conditions and mechanisms required to minimize the
risk of inappropriate access to support.
is not in the Council Resolutions link
http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201005
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.
