[gnso-osc-ops] ACTION ITEM: Final Draft Abstention Procedures
Dear Work Team members, As discussed in today’s call, attached in .doc and .pdf are the final recommended changes to the GNSO Operating Procedures to address abstentions. As requested on the call, Ken Bour has revised the latest version, which was based on the discussion on the 06 January Work Team call, to incorporate the procedures into Section 4.0 — Voting as a new subsection 4.5 — Abstentions. Please note that Ken identified and made changes in a few other places within Section 4 to maintain consistency and integrity throughout the entire set of voting procedures. Because he was changing existing approved language, he left track changes on in 4.1-4.4, but accepted all of the changes in 4.5 per Ray’s request. ACTION ITEM: It was agreed on today’s call that unless Work Team members specifically object to these final recommended procedures no later than Monday, 01 February, they will be considered to be agreed to by the Work Team. If there are no objections, the Work Team will forward the recommended procedures to ICANN Legal staff for review. Once that review is complete the Work Team will forward the procedures to the Operations Steering Team for consideration with the goal of GNSO Council approval at at the Council’s 10 March meeting at the ICANN meeting in Nairobi, Kenya. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Best regards, Julie Attachment:
