[gnso-osc] GNSO Council procedures - avoiding abstention - proxy vote - approval by April 15

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@xxxxxx>]

For approval April 15
 
As the OSC may be aware Council raised some concern with the current rules on
proxy voting.
Proxy voting is allowed as one remedy to avoid an abstention.
The source of the concern was that the Council rules assumed the existence of
procedures in Constituency charters that were not universal.
 
I attach a proposed version that avoids this assumption while retaining the
essence of the proxy option.
I have also taken the opportunity to simplify language in this section to avoid
ambiguity.
 
Please may I have your approval to recommend this change to Council?
Deadline is April 15.
 
Philip Sheppard
OSC Chair
