RE: [gnso-osc] GNSO Council Proxy Procedures

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

The Whois Studies motion; it happens to be one that the registries and
registrars my split their votes.  As it turns out, I just learned that
it will not be a problem because Olga will be able to attend the
meeting.   Previously it looked like Andrei and Olga may not be able to
attend.

I suspect that liberalizing proxy voting might be difficult to do
because of General Council concerns about that, which we have
encountered repeatedly in the past.

I really think the concerns identified can be satisfied fairly simply.
