a GNSO Council motion or other voting action requires a simple majority vote of

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>Create an Issues Report: requires an

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>
