<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">There are three issues for
the CWG-Stewardship to address: <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Arial">Issue #1: Thresholds<u></u><u></u></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">For the CSC Charter, the
CCNSO and GNSO Councils must approve amendments. The DT leads noted that the
intention is that the respective Councils (ccNSO and GNSO) would vote to ratify
any proposed charter amendment/s and the threshold would be in accordance with
their respective methods of operation. However, the current responses further suggest
that, “supermajority of both Councils would seem appropriate if this can be
accommodated.” <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Staff would like to note
that supermajority may not be consistent with current practice in the GNSO and
CCNSO Councils. In the case of the GNSO, the default voting threshold is simple
majority of each house. Should a supermajority vote be deemed appropriate for
this purpose, the relevant section in the ICANN bylaws that details voting
thresholds that differ from simple majority, would need to be updated. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Does the CWG want to define
a higher threshold for the CCNSO and GNSO councils or proceed with existing
operating procedures within the Councils?</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif;display:inline"></div><b style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif"><font color="#9900ff"> <div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif;display:inline"></div><CLO> <div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif;display:inline"> I would suggest going with the existing OP's within the Councils...</div></font></b><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif;display:inline"></div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Current response: Paragraph
301 being focused on the IFR while Paragraph 194 being a timetable makes
Paragraph 301 the determining one. However, Paragraphs 267/268 seem to confirm

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">The CWG needs to consider
specifying a forum and process for the Special IFR. Paragraphs (125) and (303)
of the CWG Final Proposal provide that consideration of whether to trigger a
Special IFR “may” include a public comment period but is silent on who
determines whether there should be a public comment period. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

adopts the Empowered Community mechanism of the CCWG-Accountability, then the
