Item 1: Administrative matters (15 minutes)
1.1 Roll call of Council members and polling for Disclosures of Interest
* Per the GNSO Operating Procedures, Section 5.4, we are required to poll
Councilors regarding "any direct or indirect interests that may affect a
Relevant Party's judgment on an issue that is under review, consideration, or
discussion" in this meeting.
Here is the definition provided in the procedures:
"Disclosure of Interest: Relevant to a specific issue at a specific time. A
written statement made by a Relevant Party of direct and indirect interests
that may be commercial (e.g. monetary payment) or non-commercial (e.g.
non-tangible benefit such as publicity, political or academic visibility) and
may affect, or be perceived to affect, the Relevant Party's judgment on a
specific issue."
The main issue for this meeting is
* GNSO Prioritization
1.2 Update any statements of interest
1.3 Review/amend agenda
1.4. Note the status of minutes for the previous Council meeting per the GNSO
Operating Procedures:
* 7 October 2010 meeting minutes - Approved on 28 October 2010.
Item 2: GNSO Project Prioritization (20 minutes)
2.1 Refer to posted project
ratings<http://gnso.icann.org/correspondence/new-gtld-applicant-support-draft-recommendations-summary-07oct10-en.pdf%20>:

2.2 Key points made in the 15 July Council meeting (from meeting minutes):
* ". . . not a useful exercise, not much was learnt, should not proceed further
with the prioritization exercise."
* ". . . spending more time on the exercise will not accomplish useful results."
* "It was a difficult exercise, policy matters were not prioritized and the
core issue, management of the workload, still has not been resolved."
* "The exercise was intended as a first step and not intended to solve the
workload management; other steps are needed. The exercise contributed an
important degree of common awareness and dissent to the group."
* "The prioritization process could be improved with further input from the
Councilors and stakeholder groups."
* "The exercise is important and informative from a staff perspective and the
Council needs to look at a two-step process going forward: step one - form a
small team to improve the process used to date drawing on input received; step
two - develop a process to manage the workload with input from staff of the
resources being used to support each of the working groups, which will reflect
both staff and community efforts."
* "Support was expressed for continuing the prioritization work, but linking it
to the overall ICANN Staff and Community workload and to the Budget process."
* "The question of available resources should be looked at in context. The
Vertical Integration working group as an example of one that would not normally
have commenced with all the work before Council, yet it did and the community
resources were available."
* "Some believe that work should be prioritized but the methodology chosen is
not the most appropriate or efficient."
2.3 Next Steps
* Staff Utilization Analysis (Liz Gasster)

Item 8: 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
