3.2 Key points made in the 15 July Council meeting (from meeting minutes):<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>• “. .
. not a useful exercise, not much was learnt, should not proceed further with
the prioritization exercise.”<br>
• “. . . spending more time on the exercise will not accomplish
useful results.”<br>
• “It was a difficult exercise, policy matters were not prioritized
and the core issue, management of the workload, still has not been
resolved.”<br>
• “The exercise was intended as a first step and not intended to
solve the workload management; other steps are needed. The exercise contributed
an important degree of common awareness and dissent to the group.”<br>
• “The prioritization process could be improved with further input
from the Councilors and stakeholder groups.”<br>
• “The exercise is important and informative from a staff
perspective and the Council needs to look at a two-step process going forward:
step one - form a small team to improve the process used to date drawing on
input received; step two - develop a process to manage the workload with input
from staff of the resources being used to support each of the working groups,
which will reflect both staff and community efforts.”<br>
• “Support was expressed for continuing the prioritization work,
but linking it to the overall ICANN Staff and Community workload and to the
Budget process.”<br>
• “The question of available resources should be looked at in
context. The Vertical Integration working group as an example of one that would
not normally have commenced with all the work before Council, yet it did and
the community resources were available.”<br>
• “Some believe that work should be prioritized but the methodology
chosen is not the most appropriate or efficient.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=a1><span class=a><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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:</span></span><span
lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
<span class=a>1. Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of more
than 25% vote of each House or majority of one House;</span><br>
<span class=a>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;</span><br>
<span class=a>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”);</span><br>
<span class=a>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;</span><br>
<span class=a>5. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority:
requires an affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and</span><br>
<span class=a>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 counci</span>l” 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>
