[gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] GNSO Council Confirmation of Co-Chairs

[Julie Hedlund]

Dear Chris, Rudi, and PDP WG Members,

Per the Working Group Guidelines the Chairs of Working Groups must be
confirmed by their Chartering Organization ‹ in this case the GNSO Council.
Specifically, the Guidelines say, "Once selected, a Working Group Chair will
need to be confirmed by the Chartering Organization (CO). The newly elected
Chair will act on a provisional basis until the Chartering Organization has
confirmed the appointment. If there are any objections to the selected
Chair, the CO will conduct a vote to establish whether there is sufficient
support for the selected Chair according to the voting procedures of the CO.
If not, the Working Group will be requested to reconsider their choice for
Chair and return to the CO with a new proposal."


The usual procedure is to include the confirmation of chairs as an item on
the consent agenda of a GNSO Council meeting, which means that it is not
subject to a vote unless there is an objection.  Accordingly, the
confirmation of Chris and Rudi as Co-Chairs has been added to the consent
agenda for the Council meeting to be held tomorrow, 23 January.


Please note that if the Co-Chairs would like updates on the work of the PDP
WG to be provided to the Council, per the Working Group Guidelines the PDP
WG Liaison to the Council (in this case Ching Chao) will provide them if
requested, either via email or during a Council meeting.  Although it is too
late to get an update on the agenda for tomorrow's Council meeting, the PDP
WG may consider whether to ask Ching to provide an update during the Council
meeting on 27 February, or if preferable, via email to the Council list.


Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to talking
to you tomorrow.


Best regards,


Julie


Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
