<div><div>Dear Members: </div><div><br></div><div>Please take note of the Council agenda. If you, as a BC member, have a specific topic(s) to discuss with BC colleagues that is on the Council agenda, please post it to the bc-gnso@bizconst.org list. You will reach all BC members and the full ExComm.</div><div><br></div><div>Please Note: The ExComm met last Friday and took several decisions on improving the consultation processes on all fronts. A fuller report on those discussions is being prepared and will be posted over the week-end. I have been traveling in Africa since Saturday and have had limited access. However, to preannounce a couple of important decisions:</div><div>We will be announcing ExComm calls that will take place a few days after the Council agenda is released. These ExComm discussions will primarily be focused on topics on the Council agenda. </div><div>As needed, ExComm working sessions will address administrative/management work items of the Constituency. </div><div>We will be announcing a schedule for BC calls for later in August, September [with a face to face option]; October and November. That will be a separate update. </div><div><br></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>This update to the membership is to ask you to focus on the Council Agenda and share your views on any of the topics to be addressed.However, please note that one topic should be addressed privately, if you are commenting on candidates, or conveying your views on CSG or BC strategy. </b></div><div><br></div><div>One topic on the agenda is already the subject of CSG consultation with the BC: Item 4: Endorsements of GNSO members of Review Teams</div><div><br></div><div>As you know from earlier emails to the list, the CSG is meeting to undertake a decision on putting forward the CSG candidates to the RT. This is a reminder that on Tuesday, a CSG meeting will take place to consider the CSG nominations to the RTs. To date, the CSG does not support the Council intervening in the SG's nominations, nor in overturning an SG's preference. This was discussed at the Kenya CSG and BC Members meeting, and has continued to be supported by the CSG to date. It is possible that there will be a motion put forward by the CSG, after the Tuesday meeting. As members, you were asked to provide input on the candidates for the CSG, and also on the proposed approach of asking the Council to forward four candidates [ one per SG] for SSR [only three seats provided by Selectors for GNSO]; and four candidates [one per SG] on WHOIS [four seats provided by Selectors to GNSO]. Several members have responded. You have until CoB Saturday to provide comments but these should be sent directly to Sarah Deutsch and Marilyn Cade, as the CSG reps. FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, personal email addresses are provided.DO not post comments about these questions to the public list, please.</div><div>If you have a more general comment, you are of course welcome to use the full BC list. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">W</span>e recognize that we are asking you to work on a number of items at the same time, and appreciate your participation and input at all times. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: Glen@icann.org<br>To: liaison6c@gnso.icann.org<br>Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 11:49:35 -0700<br>Subject: [liaison6c] Agenda for GNSO Council Meeting 26 August 2010<br><br>

1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article X, Section 3)</span></strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif'"><br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
1. Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of more than 25% vote
of each House or majority of one House;<br>
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;<br>
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”);<br>
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;<br>
5. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority: requires an
affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and<br>
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.</span></p>

hours following the start of the meeting in which a vote is initiated, except
