RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Chair/Vice Chair Elections language

["Aikman-Scalese, Anne" <AAikman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Friendly amendment to J. Scott's changes shown below - redline attached, but it 
is a bit difficult to read so...

Anne

Chair and Vice Chair Elections
Only the primary members of the Standing Committee (see description below) 
shall be eligible to run and vote for Chair and Vice Chair.

In December of each year, the SCI will ask for volunteers from its primary 
members to serve as Chair.  If there is more than one volunteer, the GNSO 
Secretariat will conduct an election via e-mail ballot and tally the results 
after one week. If there are only two candidates for Chair, the losing 
candidate will have the option of accepting the position of Vice Chair.  If he 
or she elects not to accept this position, the SCI will ask for volunteers for 
Vice Chair.  If there are more than two candidates for the Chair or multiple 
candidates for Vice Chair, the GNSO Secretariat will conduct a run-off election 
for Vice Chair via e-mail ballot and tally the results after one week.  The 
Chair and Vice Chair shall serve for a 1-year term with the option to continue 
for a second 1-year term.   For the avoidance of doubt, time served as Vice 
Chair shall not prohibit the Vice Chair from  serving as Chair.  The Chair and 
Vice Chair are expected to act in a neutral manner and avoid any situation 
where a conflict of interest may arise for example as a result of exercising 
another function or role within ICANN.
