RE: [gnso-restruc-dt] Q5 diversity by-law

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

Steve, 
 
It doesn't talk about other forms of diversity.  It is simpler.  It is
the same for all SGs.  
 
Do you have a problem with any element of it?  If so, please explain so
we can try to move forward.
 
Chuck

        Chuck, how is this any different from your original (with Olga
and Milton) proposal?

        To continue to try to reach closure on Q5 relating to diversity
        requirements in the Bylaws, I would like to ask the following
questions
        and suggest some approaches.
        
        It seems to me that it is desirable that every geographic region
is
        represented on the Council to the maximum extent possible for
each SG
        assuming that other diversity criteria are not unreasonably
compromised.
        Is there any disagreement on this?
        
        I also believe that everyone seems to support the concept of an
        exception mechanism that requires high approval of both houses.
        
        Thirdly, no one seems to have disagreed that there should be no
more
        than two seats from any geographic region.
        
        If all of the above are true, then here is some possible
language:
        
        "Each GNSO Stakeholder Group (SG) Council Representative shall
be
        selected from a different ICANN geographic region up to the
number of
        seats allocated for that SG.  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."
        
        Thoughts?
        
        Chuck
