*Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article X,
Section 3)*
9. Except as otherwise specified in these Bylaws, Annex A hereto, or the
GNSO Operating Procedures, the default threshold to pass a GNSO Council
motion or other voting action requires a simple majority vote of each
House. The voting thresholds described below shall apply to the following
GNSO actions:****
1. Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of more than 25%
vote of each House or majority of one House;
2. Initiate a Policy Development Process (“PDP”) Within Scope (as described
in Annex A): requires an affirmative vote of more than 33% of each House or
more than 66% of one House;
3. Initiate a PDP Not Within Scope: requires an affirmative vote of more
than 75% of one House and a majority of the other House (“GNSO
Supermajority”);
4. Approve a PDP Recommendation Without a GNSO Supermajority: requires an
affirmative vote of a majority of each House and further requires that one
GNSO Council member representative of at least 3 of the 4 Stakeholder
Groups supports the Recommendation;
5. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority: requires an
affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and
6. Approve a PDP Recommendation Imposing New Obligations on Certain
Contracting Parties: where an ICANN contract provision specifies that “a
two-thirds vote of the council” demonstrates the presence of a consensus,
the GNSO Supermajority vote threshold will have to be met or exceeded with
respect to any contracting party affected by such contract provision.****
*Appendix 2: Absentee Voting Procedures (GNSO Operating Procedures

adjournment. In exceptional circumstances,announced at the time of the

calendar days, provided such amendment is verbally confirmed by all
