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

Thanks Ken,
I hoped had had caught this is my point 2 but your detail is most helpful.

Personally, I find the idea of declaring an abstention when in fact its an
absence to be odd.
At best it is confusing, at worst deceptive (especially if a voting direction is
then provided by the absent Councilor) !

I'd be interested to learn why this construction was invented.
