Due to strong voter apathy, this motion has failed.

Therefore, the constituency has no position to advocate in the task force. I would have thought that a highly important issue like this one would receive a modicum of attention from the membership of this constituency.

This is highly embarassing.

We have no choice but to re-run this ballot.

Therefore, per the Rules of Procedure, I.14, I would like to request that the ExComm immediately undertake their own vote to allow a revote of this motion to proceed.

14. Notwithstanding Sections 12 and 13 above, if in any vote fewer than the larger of (a) 10% of those Members registered to vote or (b) 15 Members registered to vote actually vote (which total shall include votes cast for and against the motion, and any abstentions), such vote will be deemed defeated. In such cases, upon a majority vote of the Constituency Executive Committee, a revote on the same ballot shall take place

I believe it was the intention of this clause to allow an immediate revote to take place (without the comment, review and discussion period). This would allow us to have an updated vote completed by this time next week if taken care of quickly.

Without the formality of this vote, your representatives to this important task force are not able to advocate the registration position on registry contracts.

ICANN Registrars Constituency member,

A ballot presented to ICANN Registrars Constituency has closed. The text of this closed ballot is as follows:
---
"GNSO task force on contract issues for existing gTLD registries."
Whereas, the GNSO has established a task force related to Policies for Contractual Conditions, Existing gTLDs - Policy Development Process (PDP) Feb06 (the "Task Force");

Whereas, the Task Force has solicited comments from the GNSO constituencies, including the Registrar Constituency ("RC");

Whereas, the RC has considered the Terms of Reference of the PDP at its meeting in Wellington, New Zealand and thereafter; and

Whereas, the RC representatives on the Task Force have distributed the attached draft constituency statement for public comment; and

Whereas, the constituency statement has received widespread support from RC members;

Therefore, be it is resolved that the Registrar Constituency adopts the attached document labeled (PDP Feb06 Registrar Statement-4 17.pdf) as its official position and instructs its representatives on the Task Force to advocate these positions to the best of their ability during the course of their work on the Task Force.
