Dear All,

To assist your discussions on these questions, I thought it would be useful to 
provide the current proposed language on the table related to these questions.

Best Regards,

Currently Proposed Revisions:

Each Stakeholder Group may select representatives according to its Charter 
procedures.  No individual representative may hold more than one seat on the 
GNSO Council at the same time.  For Stakeholder Groups with three seats on the 
GNSO Council, no two representatives shall be citizens of the same country or 
of countries located in the same Geographic Region except in cases where a 
Stakeholder Group can demonstrate that there are no eligible and available 
member representatives from three different regions. For Stakeholder Groups 
with six seats on the GNSO Council, no four representatives shall be citizens 
of the same country or of countries in the same Geographic Region  except in 
cases where a Stakeholder Group can demonstrate that there are no eligible and 
available member representatives from four different regions.

Q5. In Section 3.1: Geographic distribution SG council members

a) A change was proposed that allowed:

-  a Non Contracted Party SG to appoint up to 4 (increased from 3) out
of 6 council members from one geographic regions


Should the change be retained?

b) A general question was also asked about the clause allowing even
these limits to be waived:

- for the Non Contracted Parties in:

except in cases where a Stakeholder Group can demonstrate that there are
no eligible and available member representatives from four different
regions. 

- for the Contracted Parties

except in cases where a Stakeholder Group can demonstrate that there are
no eligible and available member representatives from four different
regions. 


Does this languages need to be changed?
