  Amr Elsadr:Hey Cintra!! ;)

  Amr Elsadr:Thanks to Julie for all the reminders. Is she not joining us today?

  Thomas Rickert:Hi all, just dialing in.

  Ron A:Julie is in ICANN training today, but we have support from Mary and 
Marika, so we are in good shape.

  Amr Elsadr:OK. Thanks Ron.

  Mary Wong:Ron, I believe Greg Shatan indicated he would be late for this call.

  Amr Elsadr:That sounds great Ron!! :) Hope everyone had happy holidays.

  Avri Doria:the idea of  shutting off frm the net for any perido fills me with 
dread and angst.

  Nathalie  Peregrine:Anne Aikman Scalese has joined the AC room

  Anne Aikman-Scalese:Sorry to be late.  Hi all!

  Nathalie  Peregrine:Greg Shatan has joined the call

  Cintra Sooknanan:Hello Anne

  Angie Graves:Hi Anne

  Ron A:Welcome Anne!

  Avri Doria:i think tha tif the previous primary says it is a new person, then 
it has been said.

  Avri Doria:MLL is now alternate, she doesn't have to do the calls.

  Greg Shatan:Apologies for being late...

  Thomas Rickert:Congrats, Cintra!

  Amr Elsadr:Thanks for agreeing to serve Cintra.

  Cintra Sooknanan:my pleasure

  Amr Elsadr:Yup. :)

  Amr Elsadr:Thanks Ken.

  Amr Elsadr:An executive summary sounds good, perhaps replacing the notes from 
the WG chair. We could probably also trim the screenshots.

  Amr Elsadr:@Mary. Makes perfect sense.

  Amr Elsadr:I think it's well written. Thanks Greg. :)

  Greg Shatan:You're welcome (blushing red).

  Avri Doria:we are too late by a day for this time.

  Avri Doria:ah, no motion requried?

  Amr Elsadr:Marie-Laure.

  Mary Wong:@Avri - only when the public comments are done and the final 
document sent to Council for approval and review.

  Amr Elsadr:@Anne: +1 here!! :)

  Avri Doria:ok, on the motion, when it is time, i am fine as liaison doing the 
motions.

  Mary Wong:Great, thanks Avri.

  Mary Wong:Ron, I'm happy to assist Marie-Laure and Greg.

  Anne Aikman-Scalese:YOu are right Avri!  I am likely to volunteer on e-mail 
voting.

  Greg Shatan:Go, team!

  Ron A:Thank you Mary!

  Avri Doria:but now i am a newbie council member

  Mary Wong:From the request form sent to the SCI: "The SCI should consider 
whether and how the Council could vote outside of a meeting and under what 
circumstances.  Quote from Jonathan Robinson in the Council transcript at the 
Wrap Up Meeting in Durban on 18 July 2013: "So I wanted - an issue I wanted us 
to consider maybe giving to the SCI and then to the group or to a committee to 
look at is I'd like to rethink about whether potentially voting by email or 
something like that is a possibility? I know we've looked at it on and off over 
the years....And if that would help speed things along it would be great to 
just look at that issue in just maybe we can't do it first time around 
obviously but for future..."  He raised this issue because the Council was in 
the process of scheduling a special meeting in August to conduct a vote.."

  Ron A:Thanks for this context Mary.

  Avri Doria:except ofn PDP motions

  Avri Doria:they already allow for mail ballots

  Avri Doria:i think

  Mary Wong:Avri, you're referring to absentee ballots, right?

  Mary Wong:Yes, the GNSO procedures allow for absentee voting in some 
instances.

  Avri Doria:yep, it was the exception to what you were saying, i thought

  Amr Elsadr:Can email ballots be set up quickly, or is it something that 
requires time? My impression was that ballots wouldn't be used, but rather an 
email to the secretariat indicating the vote.

  Mary Wong:@Amr, for absentee votes, those are administered by the Secretariat 
who contacts the absent Council member directly and compiles the result.

  Mary Wong:And there is a 72 hour limit for absentee voting.

  Mary Wong:Which only apply to: a. Initiate a Policy Development Process 
(PDP);b. Approve a PDP recommendation;c. Recommend amendments to the GNSO 
Operating Procedures (GOP) or ICANN Bylaws;d. Fill a Council position open for 
election.

  Amr Elsadr:Thanks Mary. So ballots are not used, nor are they being 
recommended at this point?

  Mary Wong:Amr I can check with the Secretariat to confirm the actual method 
they are using right now. Basically, I would assume that the mechanics for both 
absentee and email voting would be the same.

  Amr Elsadr:I assume the same. Thanks again Mary. :)

  Mary Wong:No worries! :)

  Avri Doria:Mary,  i think they would be differtn ifonly in the respect that  
everyone is voting instead of just one person.

  Mary Wong:AVri, yes - I was referring to the actual technology/format.

  Avri Doria:even then

  Anne Aikman-Scalese:I will volunteer to work on this group if needed before 
we come back to  SCI

  Angie Graves:I have a hard stop now, unfortunately, and must drop.

  Amr Elsadr:Bye Angie. See ya.

  Mary Wong:Link to the request and current WG Consensus Levels:

  Amr Elsadr:I'm willing to work on this sub-team.

  Amr Elsadr:@Avri: I brought it up, because you mentioned email ballots, but 
it was not indicated at any point in the proposed text. Don't ballots typically 
mean less transparency, because votes are private? Can they be revealed 
retroactively?

  Avri Doria:propose changes if they are needed/

  Avri Doria:it is a process fine tuning group

  Nathalie  Peregrine:that is correct

  Thomas Rickert:Thanks, Ron - well done and bye to all!

  Amr Elsadr:Thanks everyone. Talk to you soon.

  Cintra Sooknanan:take care bye
