I think it would be a good idea to distribute the redlined document with
Legal Counsel's changes.

Regarding: "5. The GNSO Council shall select the GNSO Chair for a term
the GNSO Council specifies, but not longer than one year, by written
ballot or by action at a meeting or both. The procedures for selecting
the Chair and any other officers are contained in the GNSO Council
Operating Rules and Procedures approved by the Board." (p.3)

Legal Counsel made this comment: "The inclusion of "both" confuses the
requirements - what is trying to be achieved here? It may be better to
remove "or both" unless we can reach a better formulation of this."  I
think one thing we were trying to accommodate is absentee voting.

Hi,

As the note below indicates, I asked the Legal Counsel to
take a look at the draft by-laws.

Several edits have been made.  Please review and comment.

My inclination is to insert their changes unless there is objection.

Thanks
a.

Avri,

Samantha Eisner and I have reviewed the GNSO's draft bylaws
amendments.
Please find attached a Word document with our comments,
questions, and
suggested edits.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this.  Please let
us know if
you have any questions or if we can be of any other assistance.

See you in Sydney!

Best regards,
Dan

Hi,

I understand that you were doing a review of the by-laws when we
started mucking about.  I think we are just about finished
and though
they have not been council approved yet (hope to do it in
Sydney), I
think they are rather stable at this point.

It would be great if you could take a look and let us know if
anything we have there is inappropriate vis a vis legal
requirements,
or if anything is missing.  The sooner we know, the sooner we can
deal with any changes.  Of course I understand that the
real review
will be done before the Board takes its vote, however, it would be
helpful to know if we really missed the mark anywhere.

The latest version can be found at:

https://st.icann.org/gnso_transition/index.cgi?proposed_by_laws

As of tomorrow morning I epxect to remove the editing
marks (italics
for recently added changes, line through for things that are to be
deleted).

You will note that we have not touched the PDP annex yet.  That is
being worked on in the PPSC.   Except for the voting
thresholds which
are included in the changes, I think we should be ok as
the PDP rules
do not affect getting the new council seated.

Please forgive the parallelism and extra work that it may
entail, but
I am really trying to make sure everything gets done in
time to seat
the new council in Seoul.

Thanks
and look forward to seeing you in Sydney.

a.
