I think Section 2 onwards is basically where it needs to be in order to be 
proposed as a rule. Section 1.2 and especially Section 1.1 need a little more 
help.  I will go through this draft and make a few suggestions.

Hi and thanks for the note, Greg. With the exception of the introductory 
sentence at the beginning, I believe the sub group intended that the actual 
language be that to be incorporated into - or rather, added to - the GNSO 
Operating Procedures. As such, would the attached updated version help? I've 
basically just numbered (or re-numbered) the sections to correspond to the 
numbering used in the current GNSO Operating Procedures, with "xx" to signify 
the actual Section number to be allotted to the final version.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Subject: RE: Updated Electronic Voting language

All:

I am raising a process question with regard to the Electronic Voting language 
as it currently stands.  Unlike the 10-day Waiver rule proposal and the 
resubmission proposal (among others), the Electronic Voting language is not 
currently drafted in the form of a rule that can be "dropped into" the 
Operating Procedures.  Instead, it is more of a statement of principles 
(although it has tightened up quite a bit through various drafts).

If we send it out for public comment and review in this form, wouldn't we  then 
need to revise it to put it in the form of a draft rule, which would then go 
out for a second round of Consensus Call/public comment/GNSO Council review, 
and then (unless there are no issues raised with the drafting of the rule), 
wouldn't we need to revise it again to put it in the form of a final rule for a 
third round of Consensus Call/public comment/GNSO Council review before it can 
be adopted?

Would it make sense to revise the Electronic Voting language so that it is the 
form of a rule, which could eliminate a round of review and get the rule "on 
the books" faster?  (Given the evolution of the document, I think we are 
already halfway there.)  Or is the issue sufficiently complex that it should be 
reviewed by the community "in principle" first, before we turn it into a rule?  
Or am I missing something relating to process and procedures?

Best regards,

Greg

Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Updated Electronic Voting language

Dear all,

Please find attached an updated draft of the proposed Electronic Voting 
procedure for the GNSO Council, based on the SCI meeting on 22 July. Please 
note also that, after consulting with Ron as the Chair, the finalized language 
for this procedure will be sent out together with the previously-approved 
language for the 10-day Motion Waiver procedure for a formal Consensus Call. 
Following the conclusion of the Consensus Call and assuming the two procedures 
are approved, staff will then prepare to send them out - together with the 
previously-adopted language regarding WG Consensus Levels -  for public comment 
and GNSO Council review.

We will, as per usual practice, also notify and consult with ICANN Legal on all 
these adopted procedures, to ensure that they are in general conformity with 
other rules and processes in the ICANN community.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
