RE: [bc-gnso] Charter - Councilor's vote

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ron,

 

When did a representative say that?  The BC's GNSO Councilors are bound to
"remain faithful to approved positions" of the BC.  I believe the existing
Charter is perfectly clear and correct in this respect, and we have
suggested the same text in the proposed Charter, section 7.5.  

 

Councilors should never be bound by the informal consensus of a small
subgroup of members, though such input is always welcome.  Hope this answers
your question and concern.

 

Thanks,

Mike

Philip,

 

I may be overlooking it, but can you point out where in the new Charter it
explicitly notes that the BC representatives to the Council will vote
according to the wishes of the constituency?  As we experienced in Seoul,
one of our representatives declared he is not bound by the view of the
constituency and has a right to vote from his personal perspective.   I
think everyone in the BC is of like mind on this matter, i.e., our
representative MUST vote the constituencies position.

 

Thank you,

 

RA

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 !

 

Philip
