[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Chair/Vice Chair Elections language

Wed Jan 23 22:46:24 UTC 2013

Friendly amendment to J. Scott's changes shown below - redline attached, but it is a bit difficult to read so...

Anne

Chair and Vice Chair Elections
Only the primary members of the Standing Committee (see description below) shall be eligible to run and vote for Chair and Vice Chair.

In December of each year, the SCI will ask for volunteers from its primary members to serve as Chair.  If there is more than one volunteer, the GNSO Secretariat will conduct an election via e-mail ballot and tally the results after one week. If there are only two candidates for Chair, the losing candidate will have the option of accepting the position of Vice Chair.  If he or she elects not to accept this position, the SCI will ask for volunteers for Vice Chair.  If there are more than two candidates for the Chair or multiple candidates for Vice Chair, the GNSO Secretariat will conduct a run-off election for Vice Chair via e-mail ballot and tally the results after one week.  The Chair and Vice Chair shall serve for a 1-year term with the option to continue for a second 1-year term.   For the avoidance of doubt, time served as Vice Chair shall not prohibit the Vice Chair from  serving as Chair.  The Chair and Vice Chair are expected to act in a neutral manner and avoid any situation where a conflict of interest may arise for example as a result of exercising another function or role within ICANN.
