<p class=MsoPlainText><b>Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN
Bylaws, Article X, Section 3)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>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></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 1. 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></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 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;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 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”);<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 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;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 5. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO
Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><b>Appendix 2: Absentee Voting Procedures (Council
Operating Procedures 4.4)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Members that are absent from a meeting at the time of a
vote on the following items may vote by absentee ballot:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 1. Initiate a policy development process;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 2. Forward a policy recommendation to the Board;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 3. Recommend amendments to the ICANN Bylaws;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 4. Fill a position open for election.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The GNSO Secretariat will provide reasonable 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
the vote, the Chair may reduce this time to 24 hours or extend the time to 7
days. There must be a quorum for the meeting in which the vote is initiated.<o:p></o:p></p>
