(ICANN Bylaws, Article X, Section 3)<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>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:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>a. Create an Issues Report: requires an
affirmative vote of more than 25% vote of each House or majority of one House;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>b. 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;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>c. 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”);<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>d. 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;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>e. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO
Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>f. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

means for transmitting and authenticating absentee ballots, which could include
voting by telephone, e- mail, or web-based interface. Absentee ballots must be
submitted within 72 hours following the start of the meeting in which a vote is
initiated, except that, in exceptional circumstances announced at the time of

days. There must be a quorum for the meeting in which the vote is initiated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
