AW: [gnso-osc-ops] Action Required: Voting & Abstentions

[<KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ray,
 
I support starting the OSC/Council process as suggested. However I have some 
doubts whether we should disclose the names of councillors having abstained in 
2009. If the voting results are anyway publicly available then I would agree.
 

Kind regards
Wolf-Ulrich Knoben

Betreff: [gnso-osc-ops] Action Required: Voting & Abstentions



Work Team members:  Per my instructions, Ken has provided to me a detailed 
analysis leading to the final language for Section 4.5 Abstentions for approval 
by the Work Team to send to the OSC for its review.  You will find this 
document attached which includes the entire Section 4 (Voting) for your review 
of Section 4.5 (Abstentions) in full context.  In addition, Ken looked at each 
Councilor Abstention in 2009 to understand the how the rules contained in 
Section 4.5 would have impacted the abstention at the time.  Very interesting 
and useful analysis.  I have attached this document for you as well.  My 
request is for you to review these documents and if acceptable to you, I will 
forward to the OSC for their review/comment but also with our recommendation to 
send to the Council for its review as part the upcoming Nairobi meeting.

 

Ken also provided to me a series of other documents that track the changes from 
what we submitted for legal review and where the final abstention language 
landed.  If you would like these documents, I can provide to you.

 

Lastly, Ken took a stab at drafting a sample Council resolution towards 
approving Section 4.5 into the Rules of Procedure that I would recommend we 
send to the OSC for consideration as well.  In summary, I am seeking Work Team 
approval to send to the OSC the 2 documents attached and the sample resolution 
language below.  Please let me know if you approve my doing so.

 

SAMPLE COUNCIL RESOLUTION:

 

WHEREAS the GNSO Council Operations Work Team (GCOT) has developed a set of 
abstention provisions that it recommends be incorporated into the GNSO 
Operations Procedures as Sub-Section 4.5 (part of 4.0-Voting); and

 

WHEREAS the GCOT has also identified other voting procedures within Section 4.0 
that it recommends be amended to be consistent with its proposed abstentions 
provisions; and 

 

WHEREAS the Operations Steering Committee (OSC) has reviewed all of these 
revisions and recommends them for adoption by the GNSO Council. 

 

RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council accepts Version ___ (TBD) of the GNSO Operating 
Procedures, including the recommended revisions to Section 4 and its new 
Sub-Section 4.5. 

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council directs Staff to post this document for 
twenty-one (21) days in the ICANN Public Comment Forum and reserves the right 
to modify these procedures upon conclusion of that public comment period.
