    <p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
      <font size="3" face="Lucida Grande">Jen put it much more elegantly than I 
did&#44; but in essence that&#39;s what I was trying to say.</font>    </p>
<br>      
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
      <font size="3" face="Lucida Grande">That said&#44; I agree that a 
hard-and-fast rule for all circumstances may be unsuitable&#44; so I&#39;m 
sympathetic to a &quot;changed circumstance&quot; argument - that&#44; 
however&#44; is not what we&#39;ve been tasked to discuss in this instance. In 
this instance&#44; nothing changed. The reason the motion was re-submitted and 
re-voted on was because a Councilor did not understand the Council&#39;s own 
rules. Regardless of whether in the future it is an IPC&#44; NCSG or any other 
SG/C&#39;s representative&#44; I see absolutely no basis for a re-vote in this 
type of situation.</font>    </p>
<br>      
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
      <font size="3" face="Lucida Grande">The rules are clearly stated&#44; 
publicly available and &#40;as I recall&#41; linked to in every Council meeting 
agenda document. Even if the person in question is a brand-new novice Councilor 
- which is not the case here - I&#39;d be of the same view. Anyone elected to 
represent a constituent group has to be assumed to know the rules and 
procedures under which they are to discharge their office &#40;just as 
ignorance of the law is no excuse.&#41;</font>    </p>
<br>      
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
      <font size="3" face="Lucida Grande">I agree also that some 
orientation/training for new Councilors may be desirable&#44; but that again is 
beyond our remit.</font>    </p>
<br>      
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
      <font size="3" face="Lucida Grande">As for the question of consensus&#44; 
well&#44; at Council level a vote IS representative of consensus &#40;or lack 
thereof&#41;. Each SG/C has internal rules as to how their Councilors express 
their SG/C&#39;s views through formal voting - hence the care taken in the GNSO 
rules to make sure there has been adequate instruction of&#44; e.g.&#44; a 
proxy replacement for a Councilor. Again&#44; the fact that an SG/C failed in a 
particular instance to instruct their representative isn&#39;t sufficient basis 
in my view to justify a re-submission and re-vote.</font>    </p>

newer Councilor&#44; laboring under a misimpression about the conflict of 
interest rules&#44; might not&#44; in itself&#44; constitute a changed 
circumstance.&#160;&#32;Maybe I am less critical because the Councilor in 
question is an IPC Councilor and also a very good lawyer.&#160;&#32;If he was 
confused about this&#44; I consider it possible that anyone might 
be.&#160;&#32;So I tend to disagree that if the Councilor in question had been 
NCSG&#44; that there would have been a uproar about the change in vote &#40;or 
at least there shouldn&#39;t be in an ideal ICANN world&#41;.</font></span>

start.&#160;&#32;I know I am new to the council and this committee so forgive 
me if I am misunderstanding our role&#44; but what confused me about this 
particular issue was that all of the councilors had the opportunity for 
discussion&#44; to ask questions and for consensus.&#160;&#32;A vote was taken 
and then a councilor asked further clarifying questions and then wanted to 
change his vote.&#160;&#32;From a strictly process standpoint&#44; I am not 
clear on why a new vote should be allowed once the time for discussion and 
clarifying questions close.&#160;&#32;In any other parliamentary procedure&#44; 
legislative body or corporate governance on boards&#44; once a vote is 
taken&#44; that&#8217;s it&#44; even if someone misunderstood something 
procedurally or substantively. </span></font>                      </p>

discussion closes and a vote is taken&#44; from a process and procedural

taken.&#160;&#32;It not only takes up valuable time of the council in

this were permissible.&#160;&#32;</span></font>                      </p>

font-size: 10pt">Thanks&#44; Jonathan and Jeff. As I won&#39;t be on the SCI 
call this week&#44; my view&#44; FWIW&#44; is that a motion that is properly 
introduced&#44; seconded and voted on should NOT be re-introduced &#40;whether 
in its original form or tweaked&#41; in the absence of clear evidence 
indicating fraud&#44; duress or other similar circumstance surrounding the 
original introduction/seconding/vote in relation to the motion. In this 
regard&#44; Councilors&#39; ignorance of the rules &#40;e.g. effect of an 
abstention&#41;&#44; and lack of instruction/direction from a Councilor&#39;s 
particular constituency/SG&#44; should NOT count as the type of circumstance 
that ought to permit a reintroduction or re-vote on what in substance is the 
same motion.</span></font>                                </p>

they did not&#44; the fact remains that these are very clearly set out in the 
GNSO rules&#44; and if a constituency or Councilors did not know or did not 
make the time to discuss/decide&#44; that is a very poor excuse for 
reintroducing a motion &#40;again&#44; one properly introduced&#44; seconded 
and voted on&#41;.<br style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 
Tahoma,sans-serif"><br style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 
Tahoma,sans-serif">- In an ideal world&#44; the Council should have suspended 
the matter and referred the issue of a re-introduction/reconsideration of such 
a motion &#40;without necessarily specifying the actual motion or context&#41; 
to the SCI before re-opening the vote. As it is&#44; it seems as though the 
SCI&#39;s hands are somewhat tied since the second motion did get voted on and 
went through - the mind boggles at an SCI determination that this 
re-introduction and vote was improper or invalid&#44; especially in the 
currrent somewhat sensitive context within which ICANN is operating.<br

reviews intended at one point&#44; but that is not what the current regulations 
say. Due to the agreement between the SG at the time&#44; a very strict voting 
regime was adopted and approved by the Board for the g-council. G-council has 
such a complicated voting structure that the Secretariat has a special tool to 
help them figure out when a motion has passed or not.<br style="font-size:

font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif">&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I will restate what I said on 
the Council call. We are not supposed to as a group focus on voting. We are 
supposed to come to &quot;consensus&quot; on items. If there is a 
&quot;consensus&quot; at any time of the Council on any given policy 
&#40;provided that the processes were followed by the working group making the 
recommendation&#41;&#44; then that is what should govern. The last evolution 
and reform of icann report by the London School of Economics as supported by 
the Board Governance Committee emphasized this over and over again. We are not 
supposed to be a voting body&#44; so lets focus back on consensus.<br

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif">&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; All of 
the comments I have seen from those that did not like the result in the last 
council meeting have not addressed the fact that ultimately there was a 
&quot;consensus&quot; on the issue. The fact that there had to be a second 
measurement of consensus on the item to me seems irrelevant and unnecessarily 
procedural. There was no abuse of process. There was no abuse within the 
working group making the recommendation. There is not evidence that there were 
improper conflicts&#44; etc. Absent any showing of abuse&#44; harassment&#44; 
fraud&#44; illegality&#44; or willful negligence&#44; I believe having a second 
measurement of consensus is not an issue.<br style="font-size: 10pt;

clues from anyone on how to make the vote work out better are not&#44; in my 
view or the view of my stakeholder group&#44; legitimate. It is not for voter 
to decide that they should be able vote they way they meant to when they voted 
another way. If it was&#44; those poor old jewish voters on finding out the 
ballot in Florida was confusing could have taken back their votes for 
Buchanan&#44; and Gore would have been President of the US. and yes&#44; we may 
wish with all our hearts that it had been otherwise&#44; but it wasn&#39;t. 
Voting does not work according to wishes unsaid&#44; it works in terms of the 
vote given.<br style="font-size: 10pt; font-family:
