Dear Ron,

You may well have done so, but having you send them again I think is quite 
helpful since they are here for ready reference.

Best regards,

Julie

Dear Work Team members,

I thought that I had posted my comments on the SOI/DOI some time ago, but am 
not sure.  Therefore I apologize if I am double posting.

Also, I support Avri’s nomination to Vice Chair.

Kind regards,

RA

Dear Work Team members,

Here are the action items and summary of the discussion from today’s meeting.  
Please note that our next meeting will be held in two weeks on Wednesday, 10 
February, at the usual time of 1700 UTC (09:00 PST, 12:00 EST, 18:00 CEST, 
19:00 Jerusalem, 00:00 Taiwan).  This information also is posted to our wiki

me know if you have any questions.  Thank you.

Best regards,

Julie

Action Items:
1. Abstentions: The Work Team approved final recommended changes to Section 4.0 
of the GNSO Operating Procedures.  Work Team members should review the 
recommended changes. If no member objects to the recommendations by Monday, 01 
February, they will be forwarded to ICANN Legal for review and then to the 
Operations Steering Committee.  (See previous message: “ACTION ITEM: Final 
Draft Abstention Procedures” also sent today.)
2. Statements/Disclosures of Interest: Work Team members should review the 
attached draft document and provide comments to the list in preparation for a 
discussion on the call scheduled for 10 February.
3.  Vice Chair:  The Work Team members are requested to respond to the 
nomination of Avri Doria to be the Vice Chair of the Work Team.

Summary of Discussion:
1. Nairobi meeting: Work Team members determined that it was not necessary to 
hold a face-to-face meeting at the ICANN meeting in Nairobi, Kenya in March.
2. Board Seat 13: The Work Team members discussed the fact that the GNSO 
Council Chairs have decided to draft revised interim procedures and a motion 
for approval for the 28 January Council meeting to address the need to have 
procedures in place to hold an election for Board Seat 13. The Council and OSC 
will determine how to address the need for general procedures for the election 
to Board seats 13 and 14, to be incorporated in the GNSO Operating Procedures.
3. Abstentions: Work Team members accepted the draft recommended procedures for 
handling abstentions and decided that they should be incorporated into Section 
4.0 -- Voting as a new subsection 4.5. Ken Bour agreed to revise the procedures 
and Julie Hedlund agreed to send the procedures to Work Team members for 
review. Ray Fassett agreed to forward Julie's message along with the document 
Steve Metalitz and Kristina Rosette for reference of the Work Team's actions. 
If no Work Team member objects to the procedures by 01 February, they will be 
sent to ICANN Legal staff for review and, when that review is complete, they 
will be sent to the OSC for consideration along with a draft motion, with the 
goal to have the GNSO Council approve the procedures in their meeting on 10 
March in Nairobi, Kenya.
4. Vice Chair: The Chair and the Work Team members on the call nominated Avri 
Doria to be Vice Chair of the Work Team. Avri accepted pending approval by the 
full Work Team. Ray Fassett agreed to ask the full Work Team to respond.
