5.2 Key points made in the 15 July Council meeting (from meeting minutes):<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=a1><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
• “. . . 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 <span
class=a>Budget process.”</span><br>
<span class=a>• “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.”</span><br>
<span class=a>• “Some believe that work should be prioritized but
the methodology chosen is not the most appropriate or efficient.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article X, Section 3)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=a1><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:<br>
1. Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of more than 25% vote
of each House or majority of one House;<br>
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;<br>
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”);<br>
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;<br>
5. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority: requires an affirmative
vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and<br>
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></span></p>

2: Absentee Voting Procedures (Council Operating Procedures 4.4)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=a1><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Members
that are absent from a meeting at the time of a vote on the following items may
vote by absentee ballot:<br>
1. Initiate a policy development process;<br>
2. Forward a policy recommendation to the Board;<br>
3. Recommend amendments to the ICANN Bylaws;<br>
4. Fill a position open for election.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span class=a><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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.</span></span><span
