<P class=a1><SPAN 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>
