[bc-gnso] Inquiry: why are we voting in a 7 day voting period? instead of the normal 14 day? Can we please extend it to 14?

[Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Like several other BC members -- Heather, Ayesha, Liesyl/Anders, myself, David 
Fares, Zahid -- we are all traveling to Sharm El Sheikh for the IGF, and I for 
one cannot focus on the Charter to see if the changes were incorporated. 
A red line would be helpful but at this late date, as I am dashing for an 
airplane for an almost 24 hour flight due to layovers, I simply cannot do 
justice to the review of the Charter.
I thought we had agreed to have one more redlined version/quick look before 
posting to a vote.  I can't tell whether the changes that I had proposed are 
incorporated easily, as I could with a redlined version. Can that be posted as 
well? 
However, of equal concern is that this is an accelerated voting period of only 
7 days. That makes little sense, especially with so many of the BC members 
occupied in a critical international meeting. 
Would other BC members join me in asking for the normal 14 day voting period? I 
am not sure when that would close, but it would increase the odds of my having 
the time to read the charter and decide whether to vote no or yes -- not just 
have to forgo my membership rights to vote. 
I am seeing questions from other members still.
While I know we need to nail this down and get a vote, and move to elections, 
it would be unfortunate to have potentially six or so of our members away 
during the shortened voting period and unable to participate in the decision,

On Marilyn's
comment re the Charter. the present wording about prime interest should cover
it.





If it leads to any problems in the future lets address it
with a real case in front of us not a speculative one.





Any individual piece of the charter can be amended if it
proves unfit for purpose.





 





In the meantime dear BC members please VOTE !
