What do both houses vote on? Only that an exception will be allowed, or
on the actual candidate the house that is seeking the exception puts
forward?

As I read that, the non-contracted SGs would need an exemption 
potentially every year (assuming we stay at 5 regions), effectively 
meaning that the entire Council must approve one of their 
Councillors. I find that wrong on several counts.

Also the "up to the number of seats allocated for that SG" is really 
redundant - there is no way to go above, and the previous part of the 
sentence covers all below the limit. I think a simple change in that 
phrase addresses both issues.

"Each GNSO Stakeholder Group (SG) Council Representative shall be 
selected from a different ICANN geographic region up to the number of 
ICANN regions. Any exceptions to this requirement shall require a 2/3 
vote of both houses but in no case shall more than two 
representatives come from the same geographic region."
