<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif; ">It should be
noted though that depending on whether a supermajority vote is achieved on a
recommendation, the voting threshold needed for the ICANN Board to determine
that such policy is not in the best interests of the ICANN community or
ICANN differs (i.e. if supermajority is achieved, it requires more than a
2/3 vote of the Board, while if no supermajority is achieved, a majority
vote of the Board would be sufficient) - <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#AnnexA"><span style="COLOR: purple">http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#AnnexA</span></a>.

a supermajority threshold is achieved, the certainty of implementing some or
parts of some of the recommendations as Consensus Policy may be more clear,
but further determinations would need to be made in relation to each of the
adopted recommendations as part of the implementation process to determine
what would be the most effective / efficient way of implementation. If a
supermajority threshold is not achieved, alternative mechanisms can be
considered to implement the recommendations.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div>

thing I'd like to suggest is that, instead of considering the request to the

the Council take up that item as part of our Consent Agenda during the

will you grant the request?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div>
