Dear Members

Ballot on revised BC Charter

At the request of the BC Officers and with reference to the message below, I 
have today opened a 7-day voting period for the newly revised BC Charter. 

A majority approval vote means the new Charter will be adopted. A majority 
non-approval vote means the Charter will not be adopted.

A ballot form is attached. Each member organisation has one vote. The vote 
should be placed by the principle BC contact for the membership organisation or 
by notified proxy. I will apply weighted voting when I receive your ballot 
form. All ballots will be acknowledged.

The voting period closes at midnight in your time zone on Sunday 15 November 
2009. Ballots cannot be accepted after this time.

Best wishes
Gary
----------------------------------------------------

We would like to ask all members to cast their vote in favour of the attached 
revised BC Charter.
A definitive PDF version is attached.

The Charter accommodates necessary changes for the re-structured GNSO in which 
the stakeholder groups provide representatives to the GNSO council.
As such the BC will move from a situation in which its three GNSO 
representatives were also BC Officers, to a separation of these roles.
There will be a new executive committee with a chair and two vice-chairs and 
CSR rep in addition to the two representatives to the GNSO Council.
The Charter also includes other changes recommended by members and ICANN staff 
based on learning since the last Charter.
The officers have done their best to accommodate all member perspectives given 
the diversity of those perspectives. Based on recent discussion where there was 
member disagreement we have wherever possible reverted to the text of the 
current charter which has served us well.
