[gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] GNSO Council Confirmation of Co-Chairs
Dear Chris, Rudi, and PDP WG Members, Per the Working Group Guidelines the Chairs of Working Groups must be confirmed by their Chartering Organization in this case the GNSO Council. Specifically, the Guidelines say, "Once selected, a Working Group Chair will need to be confirmed by the Chartering Organization (CO). The newly elected Chair will act on a provisional basis until the Chartering Organization has confirmed the appointment. If there are any objections to the selected Chair, the CO will conduct a vote to establish whether there is sufficient support for the selected Chair according to the voting procedures of the CO. If not, the Working Group will be requested to reconsider their choice for Chair and return to the CO with a new proposal." The usual procedure is to include the confirmation of chairs as an item on the consent agenda of a GNSO Council meeting, which means that it is not subject to a vote unless there is an objection. Accordingly, the confirmation of Chris and Rudi as Co-Chairs has been added to the consent agenda for the Council meeting to be held tomorrow, 23 January. Please note that if the Co-Chairs would like updates on the work of the PDP WG to be provided to the Council, per the Working Group Guidelines the PDP WG Liaison to the Council (in this case Ching Chao) will provide them if requested, either via email or during a Council meeting. Although it is too late to get an update on the agenda for tomorrow's Council meeting, the PDP WG may consider whether to ask Ching to provide an update during the Council meeting on 27 February, or if preferable, via email to the Council list. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to talking to you tomorrow. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Attachment:
