[council] GNSO ATRT2 Applicants (minor change to improve clarity)

["Jonathan Robinson" <jonathan.robinson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

 

The GNSO Council has now received endorsements from all four SGs.  

 

As a reminder, the GNSO process is as follows:

 

The Council will consider the resulting list of up to four nominees at its
next teleconference. If the list does not meet the above mentioned diversity
objectives, the Council as a whole may choose to endorse up to two
additional candidates from the applicant pool who would help to give the
list of GNSO nominees the desired balance. In this case, the Council would
hold a vote during its teleconference, with sixty percent support of both

houses represented in the Council being required for endorsement. If no
candidate obtains that level of support, the list of endorsements obtained
via the bottom-up process of stakeholder group nominations will be deemed
final and forwarded to ICANN.

 

Please note:

 

.         The candidate list meets the GNSO agreed gender diversity
requirements in that not all endorsed candidates are of the same gender.

.         However it does not meet the GNSO agreed geographic diversity
requirements in that all endorsed candidates are from a single (North
America) ICANN region.

 

Therefore the slate needs to be added to with (up to two) additional SG
supported candidates in order to get closer to meeting geographic diversity
requirements.

 

The two SG supported candidates that assist us in meeting this requirement
are:

 


Marie-Laure Lemineur

F

Latin America

NCSG


Olivier Mouron

M

Europe

CSG

 

Therefore we will ballot the Council on list (since a teleconference is now
not practical ahead of the deadline) in order to see if either or both (of
Marie-Laure Lemineur and Olivier Mouron) have the support of 60% of both
houses of the Council.

 

Please can you keep an alert view on the Council list for the ballot which
will be available no later than 23h59 UTC today (24th January 2013). The
ballot will close 23h59 UTC on 26th January.

 

Thank-you.

 

 

 

Jonathan
