[gnso-ppsc-pdp] Feedback requested + updated document posted

[Marika Konings <marika.konings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

An updated version of the overarching issues document has been posted on the 
wiki (https://st.icann.org/icann-ppsc/index.cgi?pdp_team) including notes from 
last week’s meeting. Please note that your input is requested on the mailing 
list ahead of the next call on the issue outlined below.

Thanks,

Marika

==========

1.    Vote on Approving the Charter (Does this apply to modifications to the 
Charter as well)

a.    More than 33% of the Council members of each house; or More than 66% of 
one House if within Scope

b.    GNSO Supermajority vote required if not in scope


§  The WT reviewed the proposed voting threshold for the adoption of a WG 
charter (3) and all supported the one as proposed, noting that this would 
require every WG to have a charter. The WT also discussed whether any 
provisions would need to be foreseen in the case that multiple charters would 
be proposed, a scenario that recently occurred in relation to the charter for 
the Vertical Integration PDP WG. In this scenario, it would in theory be 
possible for competing charters to be adopted as only 33% of one house is 
required for adoption. The WT agreed that this issue needed further discussion 
on the list as well as review of the pros and cons of possible solutions that 
were suggested such as: if there is more than one charter, it needs to be 
adopted by a majority vote; allow WG to decide on which charter; GNSO Council 
Chair to broker agreement.
