<DIV>Matthew — the note reflects only that CSG reps don’t think that a Council
(voting as separate houses) should speak for GNSO on the new bylaws.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can’t see how this opinion would prevent GNSO from being a decisional
participant in the EC, since that happens when GNSO informs the EC of our
Representative. (see Bylaws at Section 6 <A
href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article6">here</A>)
On 29-Sep the GNSO Council voted 18-0 to name James Bladel as interim EC Rep (<A
href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions">link</A>), so perhaps that
notice has already been given. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nor do I think the CSG views would prevent GNSO Council from voting on
matters arising from the new bylaws. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope that sets you at ease.</DIV>

<P>Hi Steve, all</P>
<P>Related to the report I had asked a question with regards to the implications
of the following comment: <BR></P>
<P><I>Note: Three DT members (IPC, ISPCP, and BC) abstained from indicating
approval of Council voting thresholds, <B>as they do not support Council
exercising any of the new powers by voting within the present House-bound
structure</B>.</I><BR></P>This (my highlighting) seems to suggest that the views
of the IPC, ISPCP and BC is that GNSO Council cannot/should not exercise the
community powers until the issue of the House structure is addressed?
<BR><BR>Could someone explain? And if that is the case are we saying that
the GNSO will not be participating as a decisional participant in the EC until
that time? (Of course I may have misunderstood but would appreciate
enlightening.)<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR><BR>Matthew<BR><BR><BR><BR>

<DIV>As Amor noted, we did not describe DT discussion of how to meet undefined
Bylaws thresholds for Section 17.3 and Annex A - Sec 3.2(f) regarding recall
of a GNSO director. I added to the report (page 2) and In the DT
Recommendations column:</DIV>

<DIV>While Darcy wanted to move the background paragraph to later in the doc,
I am keen to keep it at top so that readers who are not familiar with this DT
will understand what our recommendations are all about. That background
takes only 2 inches of space, so let’s please keep it at top of page 1.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I attempted to reconcile different edit suggestions.
Added Amr’s edits on pages 3-4 to explain the majority’s rationale on why
Council speaks for GNSO. (Steve Metalitz agreed). With those
additions, I did not accept Matthew's desire to delete discussion about
Council’s responsibility for non-policy matters. Those paragraphs are
not repetitive, and were an essential part of the evolution of our group’s
discussion. Thing is, readers are not going to go back to the call
transcripts, so this “evolution” section is the place to describe what was
considered (and rejected). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Accepted Amr’s new text about Nominating committee reps on page 7.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Matthew wanted to demote the note about 3 of 9 DT members abstaining, but
this is essential to understand that recommendations did not reach a high
level of consensus, and to explain why. This qualifier needs to precede the
recommendations, in my view. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My hope is that DT members have no objection to submitting these docs to
Council today — in time for their Council meeting on Thursday. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,0)">So, please indicate
whether you have any objections by UTC today.</SPAN> </DIV>

<DIV>Thanks again for your serious attention to this project.</DIV>
