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.
