9. </span><span style='color:#1F497D'>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>
a. Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of more than 25% vote
of each House or majority of one House;<br>
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;<br>
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”);<br>
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;<br>
e. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority: requires an
affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and<br>
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>
