Re: [council] Motion regarding Board Seat 13



I agree. According to the bylaws: <<Notification of the Board seat selections shall be given by the GNSO Chair in writing to the ICANN Secretary, consistent with Article VI, Sections 8(4) and 12(1).>>

This should be enough. Selection is up to the respective housees.

Best regards

Wolf-Ulrich

Mason,

Why would this even be a motion for the GNSO Council? Not sure this is how we have handled in the past. I am actually not in favor of doing it this way as it allows debate on a matter that should not be open for debate by the Council.
