RE: [gnso-osc] FOR ADOPTION May 14 - GCOT Ops Section 2.4 board seats
I made a few suggested edits that I believe are non-substantial but helpful; they are highlighted in the attached file. Also, if others support the edits or some variation of them, I think the OSC could make them without going back to the GCOT, although we should inform them. I change the 1-day durations to 3-days to allow a little more flexibility for intervening circumstances. I also change the title of the first column of the table to make it clear that the tasks could be performed earlier. Chuck From: owner-gnso-osc@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-gnso-osc@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Philip Sheppard Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 9:27 AM To: gnso-osc@xxxxxxxxx Subject: [gnso-osc] FOR ADOPTION May 14 - GCOT Ops Section 2.4 board seats Dear OSC members, FOR REVIEW AND ADOPTION by May 14 Please find attached a revised Section 2.4 of the GNSO operating manual on the election of Board seats by the GNSO. The changes - best seen in the red line version - address a specific issue raised by Avri Doria. For me this concludes the outstanding items and I believe it is ready for adoption by the OSC and forwarding to Council. For good order I propose until May 14 for you approvals or other comments. Below are notes from GCOT on how they addressed the issues raised. Philip ________________________________ There was only one recommendation from Avri to clarify paragraph 2.4.3 concerning the process for submitting revisions to the House procedures. See new language below (redlined in the attached document): 2.4.3 Detailed Election Procedures "Each House is responsible for establishing its own internal procedures for nominations, interviews, voting, and candidate selection; however, those processes must be documented and forwarded to the GNSO Council for inclusion as ANNEXES to the GNSO Operating Procedures. If a House subsequently elects to alter its procedures, such amendments must be submitted to the GNSO Council before becoming effective so that the procedures accurately reflect the actual processes and activities performed by each House in selecting its candidate. " Wolf-Ulrich raised a point about Board Seat #14's timing and the need for the NCP House to begin discussing its preparations (and developing procedures) for that election. To facilitate the NCPH's planning in that regard, I note that, at the end of paragraph 2.4.2-Timing, there is a clause that reads: "At the request of the House, the GNSO Secretariat will develop a specific schedule with actual dates in accordance with the above timeline.
