<p>David, you're right. The other DP has to provide its decision on
Day 28 <b>the latest</b>. Why not to leave it up to the GNSO
Council to make use of the full remaining time available which
could be >24 hours?</p>
<p>So we should find an appropriate wording covering this - maybe
relative to the official kick-off of the petition process?</p>
<p>Best regards</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">During yesterday’s meeting I promised to
send a note to list further explaining my comment in the

4.2.11 of the director removal process (in this case referring
to the document regarding NomCom director removal noted in
Annex D, Section 3.1). <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All action-dates in the timeline are
described as ‘<b>maximum dates</b>.’<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is the nature of my concern.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this timeline we are telling the GNSO
Council that the timeline may assist them in their efforts to
carry out their duties with such removal petitions.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the final block (day 29) we essentially
say that day 29 is the last date on which the GNSO Rep to the
EC can submit a supported petition to the EC and others as
indicated. I think that is a correct statement in theory, but
it may prove to be incorrect in practice as an individual
petition works its way through the process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bylaw Annex D, 3.1(d)(i) says this, in
part:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span
style="background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span
style="color:black;background:white">(i) If the …
Petitioning Decisional Participant obtains the support of
at least one other Decisional Participant … during the
</span></i><span style="color:black;background:white">[relevant
week]<i> …, the … Petitioning Decisional Participant shall
provide a written notice to the </i></span><i>EC<span
style="color:black;background:white"> Administration, the
other Decisional Participants and the Secretary … <b>within
twenty-four (24) hours of receiving the support </b>
of … </span></i><span
style="color:black;background:white">[such]<i> Decisional
Participant. …
</i>(emphasis added)</span><i><span style="background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Potential supporting decisional
participants have a week to make their decision. What if the
issue is an easy one and they decide in two days? Then would
it not be the case that the GNSO Rep will have to submit the
petition by the end of the next 24 hours – days short of day
29?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If that is the case the GNSO Council might
get tripped up by confusing the ‘maximum date’ in theory with
the maximum date in practice in any one case. In other words,
there may b e a difference between maximum date and required
date.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If this is a correct reading, do we want to
somehow flag this potential for earlier action in the document
somehow?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
