RE: [gnso-osc] RE: GNSO Council Proxy Procedures

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Olga,

 

Note that the procedures say that Andrei's proxy be given to Carlos:  "If an 
abstention is declared by a House NCA, once formal notification has occurred 
pursuant to the procedures in Paragraph 4.5.4-a, a proxy is automatically 
transferred to the GNSO Council's unaffiliated NCA (hereinafter Council NCA) 
and any vote cast will be counted within the House to which the abstaining NCA 
is assigned."  The problem we have been discussing was the following: if you 
and Andrei had to abstain and both of you wanted to assign a proxy to Carlos, 
only one of you would have been allowed to do so, unless I am reading the 
procedures incorrectly.

On Chuck's last point, I am not sure that would be consistent with the way this 
works for non NCA councillors, as proxies can only be given within the same SG, 
they do not cover the entire house.

 

I think we have to be careful not to create a situation where the NCAs enjoy 
benefits that elected councillors do not.

The current GOP limit of one proxy per Council NCA follows the same limitation 
that is true for each SG Councilor.  If, for example, the RySG had two 
Councilors absent for a meeting (quorum rules notwithstanding), the attending 
Councilor could still exercise only one proxy vote per motion. The other absent 
Councilor votes would be recorded as "absent." [Gomes, Chuck]  If it is 
important to maintain this, then we could just allow an NCA to give the proxy 
to any Councilor in the applicable house.
