RE: [council] RE: Agenda for GNSO Council Meeting 18 November 2010 at 11:00 UTC
We had two quality candidates and as a group, we felt unable to choose between
them Kristina.
It is our understanding that nothing prevents us from forwarding two names.
Kind regards
Caroline.

8.2 Personnel announcement
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.
