Scott: * In order to avoid awkward situations, it would be recommended to exclude items that are subject to absentee voting from being on a consent agenda. Otherwise you might have a situation where an item is approved on the consent agenda, but here's a possibility that an online voter may vote against the item, that would make it awkward to later say "this item was passed on the consent agenda with one online vote against." * The language proposed by J. Scott suggested a call for 'no objections' following which the items would be approved, but that does not align with the Bylaws which calls for an affirmative vote so I've changed that accordingly. * Because of the house-based nature of the GNSO and the various thresholds, we'd encourage the GNSO to consider including a statement in the minutes regarding the composition/threshold that approved the consent agenda which has also been reflected in the proposed language.

If there any additions / changes, please let me know. Also, please note that I have not included the consent agenda sub-team as that topic has now moved into the whole SCI for discussion. With best regards, Marika From: "KnobenW at telekom.de" > To: Marika Konings >, "gnso-improvem-impl-sc at icann.org" > Subject: AW: Notes from SCI meeting and updated consent agenda language for review Thanks Marika for this. 1. As you have already established wiki pages for the subteams I'd like to encourage all participants to make intensive use of it. It may be helpful to have all drafts as Word Docs available for online amendment purposes. 2. Marika, could you please circulate the updated subteam list giving a chance to other volunteers for joining? 3. Re Consent Agenda I wonder whether in the penultimate para the last sentence could read "Then the chair calls for a vote on each item". (BTW that was my misunderstanding that I referred the vote to the consent agenda itself and not to the agenda items).

These sub-groups were to be tasked with gathering the background information surrounding the topics to bring all of the members of the SCI up to speed on all of them. (So that those of us who are not well-versed on each topic would have some context within which we could consider the issues at question.) In the second call, we discussed reaching out to the entire SCI to ask members who had not yet volunteered to any of the sub-group to ask them to do so. We also tackled one of the topics directly and moved it quite far down the field. When I look at the agenda for tomorrow's call, I am confused about what we are doing. I know that there has been zero dialogue within the two work teams that I am noted on, so I am not sure what these teams are doing and what should be presented tomorrow. >From the agenda, it appears that we are walking down two alternative tracks simultaneously: One track to break down into sub-groups to gather the background context to enlighten and enable us to affectively address the issues at hand; the second track appears to being going straight ahead without the background and trying to resolve them. I may be incorrect in my understanding, but I was not of an understanding that Angie and I were to be drafting language to present to the SCI. Please clarify. Thank you. RA Ronald N.

See the current procedures below. Changes to the proxy voting procedures (and other procedures relating to voting) were approved by the GNSO Council in September 2011. The purpose of the revisions was to simply and clarify the procedures and avoid contradicting the internal procedures of some constituencies. The issue that has been raised for today's discussion relates to proxies. In particular, at a recent Council meeting one council member couldn't attend but his SG wasn't in the position to provide a proxy in the formal way according to the rules. So one of the questions was whether and under which conditions a present member of her/his group could - on his behalf - declare what may be her/his intention re the proxy. In addition the question should be dealt with whether the council has to accept this request. Best regards, Julie 4.6 Proxy Voting An abstaining or absent Council member as defined above (the Proxy Giver) may transfer his or her vote to any other Council member (the Proxy Holder). The Proxy Holder must vote in order of precedence according to one of three types: 1. An instruction from the Proxy Giver?s appointing organization (if applicable), or if none; 2. An instruction from the Proxy Giver, or in the absence of either; 3. The Proxy Holder?s own conscience. a. Multiple Proxies A GNSO Council member is not permitted to be a Proxy Holder for more than one Proxy Giver. b. Quorum An absent Council member does not count toward quorum even if a proxy has been established. A Temporary Alternate (see Section 4.7-Temporary Alternate <#_4.7_Temporary_Alternate_3> below) if present, would count toward quorum. c. Proxy Notification A proxy notification must be sent to the GNSO Secretariat and should indicate which type it is. The notification should, where applicable, be sent by the Proxy Giver's appointing organization. Ordinarily a proxy notification must be received by the GNSO Secretariat before the start of the relevant meeting. Exceptionally, a proxy notification may be given during a meeting by a Council member who is present but needs to leave before a vote.

URL: From avri at acm.org Thu May 17 16:30:35 2012 From: avri at acm.org (Avri Doria) Date: Thu, 17 May 2012 18:30:35 +0200 Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Proxy Voting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, I am not sure I can make today's meeting but will try. In any case I wanted to lay out my issues related to this topic. I feel there has been an adamant resistence to the idea of reviewing or changing the rules on proxy voting ever since the issue was sent to the SC. Part of this has felt accusatory. To my ears it has sounded something like: "the NCSG did something we disapproave of, and that is no reason to change the rules." And of course, a hard case is no reason to change the rules (to badly parapharase the important quote) However, if indeed there is a hole in the process, it should be reviewed, no matter how much you don't like the reason for discovering the hole in the rules. The reason we instituted the rules is that there was consensus that the long standing practice of having proxies was fair becasue as a group we did not beleive in denying an SG or a Constituency its full vote when an absence was known about. And I assume we all still think this is the right thing to do. What we did to correct the adhoc way we were doing things was formalize a process. The process we have now works very well when one knows at least a day in advance of an absence. But it is a time consuming practice that is labor intensive in that it requires the GNSO secretariat to take an action; i.e Glen has to receive the form from the appropriate authority and process it and then inform the g-council of the proxy. We also have a procedure that works when someone has to leave a meeting they are already at. What we don't have is a procedure that works when someone finds out just before the meeting that they have a situation and must beg out at the last minute - the procedure does not work that quickly. I personally beleive that there is a hole in our procedure if advising a day before the start of the meetings works and advising after the meeting starts works but advising just before the meeting starts doesn't. Anyone who wrote a computer program like that would need to fix the bug. I think part of the problem is in the procedure: Why does this process need to be labor intensive and require the GNSO secretariat to receive the message in a timely manner and perform a forwarding of the message. If the procedure not only sent a message to the Secretariat notifying her of the situation but also sent a note to the GNSO, the problematic timing window could be minimaized if not closed. The policy calls for the sending to Glen, but does not require that she be watching her email up to the last second before the meeting started, the timing window was introdiced by the way the procedure was implemented. Fixing the procedure is one way to mostly remedy the problem without making a change. But I also thimk we should consider ammending the process to make sure the window is closed and that we are applying the same reasoning to all cases, we could recommend modifying the policy to replace: " Ordinarily a proxy notification must be received by the GNSO Secretariat before the start of the relevant meeting. " to " Ordinarily a proxy notification must be received by the GNSO Secretariat before the first vote of the relevant meeting. " So I recommend that a. we ask staff whether it is possible to have the notification copied to the GNSO list, as Glen usually does by hand, so that all can see it at the same time as the secretariat b. we consider a minor ammendment to the charter. I know this is seen as an NCSG only issues, but I am sure that at some point each and every SG/C will find themselves thwarted by the timing window that is currently exists in our policy+procedures thanks avri Julie Hedlund wrote: >Dear SC members, > >Here is some information concerning proxy voting that may be useful for >our discussion during today's call.

We've broken up into subgroups for the various topics. Marika established Wikis for the subgroups, and on May 08 she reached out to the SCI with the updated team members list asking for additional volunteers. Up to date I've not seen any additions. Nevertheless I think we could start working on the topics. We should discuss today what the teams need to start working. Since the tasks seem to be not that "heavy" - although there may be differences between the teams - there is no "special working method" needed (charter, mailing list e.a.). Any team member could start rolling the ball with a first suggestion. But maybe someone should lead the process. From the minutes of the last meeting I thought you or Angie was taking the lead in one of the groups (motion deferrals). As you say there was no discussion initiated within all teams we should today solve this lack of communication. I'm very happy to see Avri's proposal on the proxy voting topic.

These sub-groups were to be tasked with gathering the background information surrounding the topics to bring all of the members of the SCI up to speed on all of them. (So that those of us who are not well-versed on each topic would have some context within which we could consider the issues at question.) In the second call, we discussed reaching out to the entire SCI to ask members who had not yet volunteered to any of the sub-group to ask them to do so. We also tackled one of the topics directly and moved it quite far down the field. When I look at the agenda for tomorrow's call, I am confused about what we are doing. I know that there has been zero dialogue within the two work teams that I am noted on, so I am not sure what these teams are doing and what should be presented tomorrow. >From the agenda, it appears that we are walking down two alternative tracks simultaneously: One track to break down into sub-groups to gather the background context to enlighten and enable us to affectively address the issues at hand; the second track appears to being going straight ahead without the background and trying to resolve them.

On a more general level, with respect to the task assigned to the SCI sub group on this issue, I believe that a notice of proxy "before the first vote" of the meeting is way too late. It suggests that the proxy will arrive at the meeting, not hear any of the discussion on the issue, and then simply vote even if he or she has not participated in the discussion. My understanding of a proxy is that the vote could in fact go either way because the person holding the proxy is entitled to participate in the discussion and then vote according to his/her best judgment afte full hearing and discussion. I do not see requiring advance notice as a "bug." I gather that with the structure discussed in today's meeting, each sub-group will be working independently and coming back to the full SCI, but since Avri sent this to everyone, I decided to respond.

In any case I wanted to lay out my issues related to this topic. I feel there has been an adamant resistence to the idea of reviewing or changing the rules on proxy voting ever since the issue was sent to the SC. Part of this has felt accusatory. To my ears it has sounded something like: "the NCSG did something we disapproave of, and that is no reason to change the rules." And of course, a hard case is no reason to change the rules (to badly parapharase the important quote) However, if indeed there is a hole in the process, it should be reviewed, no matter how much you don't like the reason for discovering the hole in the rules. The reason we instituted the rules is that there was consensus that the long standing practice of having proxies was fair becasue as a group we did not beleive in denying an SG or a Constituency its full vote when an absence was known about. And I assume we all still think this is the right thing to do. What we did to correct the adhoc way we were doing things was formalize a process. The process we have now works very well when one knows at least a day in advance of an absence. But it is a time consuming practice that is labor intensive in that it requires the GNSO secretariat to take an action; i.e Glen has to receive the form from the appropriate authority and process it and then inform the g-council of the proxy. We also have a procedure that works when someone has to leave a meeting they are already at. What we don't have is a procedure that works when someone finds out just before the meeting that they have a situation and must beg out at the last minute - the procedure does not work that quickly. I personally beleive that there is a hole in our procedure if advising a day before the start of the meetings works and advising after the meeting starts works but advising just before the meeting starts doesn't. Anyone who wrote a computer program like that would need to fix the bug. I think part of the problem is in the procedure: Why does this process need to be labor intensive and require the GNSO secretariat to receive the message in a timely manner and perform a forwarding of the message. If the procedure not only sent a message to the Secretariat notifying her of the situation but also sent a note to the GNSO, the problematic timing window could be minimaized if not closed. The policy calls for the sending to Glen, but does not require that she be watching her email up to the last second before the meeting started, the timing window was introdiced by the way the procedure was implemented. Fixing the procedure is one way to mostly remedy the problem without making a change. But I also thimk we should consider ammending the process to make sure the window is closed and that we are applying the same reasoning to all cases, we could recommend modifying the policy to replace: " Ordinarily a proxy notification must be received by the GNSO Secretariat before the start of the relevant meeting. " to " Ordinarily a proxy notification must be received by the GNSO Secretariat before the first vote of the relevant meeting. " So I recommend that a. we ask staff whether it is possible to have the notification copied to the GNSO list, as Glen usually does by hand, so that all can see it at the same time as the secretariat b. we consider a minor ammendment to the charter. I know this is seen as an NCSG only issues, but I am sure that at some point each and every SG/C will find themselves thwarted by the timing window that is currently exists in our policy+procedures thanks avri Julie Hedlund wrote: >Dear SC members, > >Here is some information concerning proxy voting that may be useful for >our discussion during today's call.

How about before that start of the first discussion of a motion. As I say, I think this is a problem that every SG/C will expereince some day, and if we are serious about not risking that any SG/C lose its vote on a motion, then we need to be lenient in allowing time for remedies to take place. avri "Aikman-Scalese, Anne" wrote: >I personally do not know the background on this issue in terms of what >happened with the NCSG.

From randruff at rnapartners.com Fri May 18 14:50:01 2012 From: randruff at rnapartners.com (Ron Andruff) Date: Fri, 18 May 2012 10:50:01 -0400 Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Proxy Voting In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <7CFB44E65A02498986BCF8BAF7BB0483@ron> All, In the end we need to remind ourselves what is it that we are trying to do in relation to the bigger picture. Allowing proxies to be handed off at will was not the objective of the Working Group that focused on this aspect; rather the focus was to put a process in place to ensure that all SGs votes count in the new bicameral regime that was imposed upon the GNSO after the most recent review and restructuring. There was a great deal of debate and discussion around this as I recall, having been a member of that Working Group along with Avri, Wolf-Ulrich, Ray and others. The SCI needs to consider how this process can be streamlined in light of the operating procedures of the various constituencies that make up the SGs, but it should not modify a long-considered process simply to accommodate something that could well be better modified within a constituency or SG. Food for thought... Kind regards, RA Ronald N.

E.g. the ISPs have imposed a kind of "mandatory voting" meaning that the council rep (and her/his proxy if coming from the ISP constituency) has to follow the constituency instruction in voting. So a certain time is needed to hand over the proxy including the voting instruction and the rationale of. To my knowledge e.g. the NCSG process is different in that respect since not requiring an instructive vote. I wonder whether this could be taken into consideration during the discussion.

Mai 2012 16:50 An: 'Avri Doria'; gnso-improvem-impl-sc at icann.org Betreff: RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Proxy Voting All, In the end we need to remind ourselves what is it that we are trying to do in relation to the bigger picture. Allowing proxies to be handed off at will was not the objective of the Working Group that focused on this aspect; rather the focus was to put a process in place to ensure that all SGs votes count in the new bicameral regime that was imposed upon the GNSO after the most recent review and restructuring. There was a great deal of debate and discussion around this as I recall, having been a member of that Working Group along with Avri, Wolf-Ulrich, Ray and others. The SCI needs to consider how this process can be streamlined in light of the operating procedures of the various constituencies that make up the SGs, but it should not modify a long-considered process simply to accommodate something that could well be better modified within a constituency or SG. Food for thought... Kind regards, RA Ronald N.

We would only suggest to change "2/3 vote of the council is equal to consensus" to "where a 2/3 vote of the council demonstrates the presence of a consensus" so it tracks the language in the ICANN Bylaws.

Councilors can "vote their own conscience" but this does not generally happen where there is a clear SG position. In all cases, a Councilor that needs a proxy informs his/her proxy as well as the rest of the NCSG Councilors and the SG Chair (usually through our policy committee email list or Skype group chat) of his/her vote so the whole policy committee knows how each Councilor will be voting. In the case that raised the issue, the need for a proxy did not arise until the very last minute. The voting would have been the same - and known to all NCSG Councilors and members listening in to the Council call - regardless of whether the Councilor or her proxy was the one casting the vote. The problem was therefore one purely of timing and the relatively clunky nature of the form-filling and notification that is currently required, which does not allow for flexibility in these types of exceptional circumstances. Any amendments we suggest must of course be on an exceptional, emergency basis. What I'd like to see is the ability to accept a proxy on such a basis if it is done prior to the discussion of the agenda item in question (i.e. sometime before the vote - the proxy ought to be present for the pre-vote discussion), and provided there is documentation or other evidence that can show that a proxy was properly appointed according to the relevant SG processes.

E.g. the ISPs have imposed a kind of "mandatory voting" meaning that the council rep (and her/his proxy if coming from the ISP constituency) has to follow the constituency instruction in voting. So a certain time is needed to hand over the proxy including the voting instruction and the rationale of. To my knowledge e.g. the NCSG process is different in that respect since not requiring an instructive vote. I wonder whether this could be taken into consideration during the discussion.

Mai 2012 16:50 An: 'Avri Doria'; gnso-improvem-impl-sc at icann.org Betreff: RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Proxy Voting All, In the end we need to remind ourselves what is it that we are trying to do in relation to the bigger picture. Allowing proxies to be handed off at will was not the objective of the Working Group that focused on this aspect; rather the focus was to put a process in place to ensure that all SGs votes count in the new bicameral regime that was imposed upon the GNSO after the most recent review and restructuring. There was a great deal of debate and discussion around this as I recall, having been a member of that Working Group along with Avri, Wolf-Ulrich, Ray and others. The SCI needs to consider how this process can be streamlined in light of the operating procedures of the various constituencies that make up the SGs, but it should not modify a long-considered process simply to accommodate something that could well be better modified within a constituency or SG.
