        GCOT Members:

         

        In light of Ron's response to my comment about limiting the selection 
of a TA to the "membership" of a SG, I propose the following language change to 
4.5.3-c(i):  

         

        "In selecting a Temporary Alternate, the appointing organization is 
expected to shall choose, from within its membership ranks, a responsible 
individual who is not a current voting GNSO Council member, but is otherwise 
knowledgeable on the matter at issue and qualified to represent the appointing 
organization's interests."

         

        Will these edits accomplish the objective?   

         

        Ken

        Dear all,

         

        I accept the modifications in Section 3.8 in total.

         

        I accept the modifications in Section 4.0, with the following responses 
to Ken's comments:

         

        *        Re: 4.5.3. c, i [Comment KAB2], specifically   limit a SG in 
choosing a TA from within its organization (i.e. bonafide member)  I feel the 
TA must be a bonafide member of the SG.  If an SG feels that it needs to take 
expert advice on a matter before the GNSO, it should do so and then instruct 
its TA member on how to vote.

         

        *        Re: 4.5.3. c, i [Comment KAB3], specifically   We probably 
don't want the TA remedy to become a 'back door' for an otherwise term-limited 
Councilor to reappear at Council meetings as a substitute voter.  Unless GCOT 
thinks it should undertake a new task to draft broader GNSO Council membership 
criteria, I recommend at least highlighting "Term Limits" to avoid potential 
confusion.  I agree that we do not want to leave a loophole that someone will 
surely try to take advantage of sooner or later.  One thing that has been 
lacking in ICANN for the past 10-years, but has improved somewhat in the last 
few, is having 'fresh faces' replace those who have 'squatted' on the GNSO 
council for too many years.  For this reason, I feel strongly that a former 
councilor who was term limited out of the council should be excluded from 
serving as a TA.  Having said that, if the Work Team feels that (1) the term 
limited ex-councilor would be more capable to get up-to-speed on an issue more 
quickly than another member; or (2) the likelihood of an ex-councilor TA having 
an SOI and bio already on file with ICANN, meaning one less issue to be 
addressed, I would concede my stated position to agree to allow a term-limited 
councilor being put forward as a TA.

         

        As for highlighting "Term Limits", I agree with Ken's recommendation.

         

        Kind regards,

         

        RA

        GCOT Members:

         

        Attached are revised versions of Section 3.8-Absences & Vacancies and 
Chapter 4.0-Voting.   Per the team's direction on 19 May, I accepted all prior 
edits; the attached documents primarily show revisions pertaining to House NCAs 
remedies.  

         

        As I indicated in my earlier note to the list, the changes were more 
extensive than I anticipated; however, I believe that these versions accomplish 
the team's intention to permit Proxy Voting and Temporary Alternate remedies 
for the two House NCAs.  

         

        I made a few additional edits not related specifically to the NCA issue 
because, pretty much every time I reconsider these procedures, I notice 
language that can be improved and/or clarified.   Since time is of the essence, 
I won't attempt to enumerate all of the edits in this email because they are 
redlined and also commented where I thought additional explanation would help 
rationalize the amendment.  

         

        I will stay abreast of list email traffic and be prepared to work 
diligently toward creating a final clean version by end of business tomorrow.  

         

        Ken Bour
