Re: [gnso-dow123] Voting procedure

["GNSO.SECRETARIAT@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

At the GNSO Council meeting on 18 May 2006, the Council passed the 
following motions:
http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-18may06.shtml

Decision 2:
The GNSO Council appoints Jordyn Buchanan as a non-voting outside 
adviser to the WHOIS Task force under Annex A, Section 5(a) of the ICANN 
force and is able to act in the role of chair if so elected by the task 
force.

Decision 3:
The GNSO Council appoints Avri Doria as a voting outside adviser to the 
WHOIS task force under Annex A, Section 5(a) of the ICANN bylaws. Avri 
is able to participate fully as a member of the task force and is able 
to act in the role of chair if so elected by the task force.

I hope this clarifies the position.
Kind regards,

Glen
