advice from ALAC, and recommendations from the GNSO following their receipt of
a Final Report from the JAS Working Group (requested in time to allow staff to
develop an implementation plan for the Board’s consideration at its October

applicant support system in place before the opening of the application
window.<BR><BR>At its Singapore wrap-up meeting, the GNSO Council identified
the following timeline if the Board request is to be answered in time: For the
Board to approve the JAS implementation plan in Dakar on October 28, the Staff
must publish all documents for the Dakar meeting 15 business days before
Dakar, so October 7. So that means the Council must approve the JAS Final
Report at its September 8 meeting.<BR><BR>This discussion item aims at

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

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>
