<DIV>Hello Wolf-Ulrich,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If the changes to the motion – (1) renumbering by (a) moving the Strong
Support but Significant Opposition clause to the end, and (b) removing the
clause about the SCI reviewing consensus levels; (2) proposing the removal of
the SCI clause; and (3) proposing that the Council vote on the Strong Support
but Significant Opposition recommendations (rather than the Council "reserving
the right to deliberate [them] at the appropriate time" - are being proposed by
Thomas as possible friendly amendments, then Jeff (as proposer) and you,
Wolf-Ulrich (as seconder), will have to consider if you will accept them as
such.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope this helps.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>

useful during your discussions of the IGO-INGO motion with your respective

consulted with ICANN's legal department regarding the questions that were
raised about voting thresholds and Consensus Policies.

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

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: calibri, sans-serif">Furthermore, if
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
SCI (to review consensus levels in the WG Guidelines) as part of the motion,
the Council take up that item as part of our Consent Agenda during the
Wednesday meeting. Jonathan – this item is for your attention and action;
will you grant the request?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
