<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Lawrence Olawale-Roberts:@Terri thanks, am dialing in and waiting for approval<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:E.g. by the time of the next Council meeting at the latest?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Angie Graves:sorry--am in a loud place<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Angie Graves:You addresed my point<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Angie Graves:Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:@Mary: That sounds OK by me. What if (and this is very unlikely) the Councl fails to elect a chair during a second election round?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:@Amr, I meant to have an interim from the vacant House, not the duration of the interim appointment<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:@Anne: Apologies, I'm not sure I understand the question.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:@Mary: Understood. I meant to ask that if the deadline to appoint an interim is over, but the council persists in failing to elect a chair. This may mean an
 additional 30 days.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:Would make sense to extend the interim appointment election, wouldn't it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:@Anne, yes, exactly<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:Sorry. My last comment made no sense. :)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:I meant that it would make sense to extend the deadline by which an interim can be appointed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:@Amr, haha no worries. My suggestion is meant to not delay Council biz further&nbsp; by having NO chair and NO second VC.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:OK. Thanks for the context Mary. That sounds good to me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:@Anne, that seems logical too (apply deadline for interim appointment to Scenario 3 too).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:I believe the bylaws (30 day provision) only applies to Council chair elections, not VC appointments. Is that right?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:@Amr, yes<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:Sorry I got disconnected. Connectivity is poor, even voice line. I try to follow the chat as good as I can<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:Welcome WUK.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Julie Hedlund:@Amr: Yes, I think that is right.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:@WUK: Welcome back. I'll warn you though, I'm not making much sense in the chat today. :(<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Terri Agnew:Wolf-Ulrich is only on AC at the moment<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:@Anne: Sounds good.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Lawrence Olawale-Roberts:can you shed some light on this<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:So Scenario 4 would kick in if the deadline for interim appointments (e.g. by the next Council meeting) is NOT met.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Julie Hedlund:@Mary: That's my understanding.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:And under Scenario 4, the &quot;last resort&quot; interm Chair (the non-voting NCA) would be interim Chair until the Chair is elected conclusively, which under the Procedures
 would be approx&nbsp; a max of 2 months out (normally).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Lawrence Olawale-Roberts:i think that flies<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Lawrence Olawale-Roberts:i dont see a problem with an interim Vice chair running for a vice chair<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:@Anne: Yes. VCs are appointed/selected by a House, not elected.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Angie Graves:Thank you for the SCENARIO 3 note<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Wolf-Ulrich Knoben 2:Under scenario 4 there shouldn't be a break in council business until VCs are appointed or the non-voting NCA takes place<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Terri Agnew:Welcome Martin Silva<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Julie Hedlund:@Amr: What if we just strike &quot;non-voting NCA&quot;?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:@Wolf-Ulrich, that is why staff suggested having a deadline for the House(s) to make the interim appointment, i.e. by the time of the next Council meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Lawrence Olawale-Roberts:the Non-voting NCA presently by the GNSO OP IS eligible to run for council chair, so if same were to hold office for a short while to run an election
 it should surfice<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:@Julie: I would be OK with that, but am really just wondering whether or not there is some sort of conflict. I'm not actually sure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Wolf-Ulrich Knoben 2:why not appoint interim VCs on the spot, meaning directly following the meeting where the chair election failed? I guess all SG leading reps should
 be available to assist...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:@Lawrence: You are correct, but we are talking about vice-chair, not chair. I don't think there are limitations on that either, but should probably check.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:@Wolf-Ulrich, maybe that can be phrased as the ideal scenario, but failing that, have a maximum deadline? Just in case.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC):@ Wolf-Ulrich - House may not be able to agree that quickly as to who should serve<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:Like I said, I see no problem with the non-voting NCA being appointed as an interim chair under scenario 4. It's scenario 3 that I'm wondering about.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Martin Silva:Hi all, struggling with a weird connection here but I think I&#8217;ll manage to be on for the rest of the meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:@Amr, wouldn't that be up to the House?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:@Anne: a non-voting NCA is not from within a house.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:Thanks Julie. That's helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Amr Elsadr:@Anne: Yes. I believe that is best.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Mary Wong:The only thing staff can think of is perhaps this is the kind of situation where having a neutral non-voting person may be preferable?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Lawrence Olawale-Roberts:&#43;1 i agree also<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Lawrence Olawale-Roberts:that the non voting NCA should be left out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 should proceed and be in place in the time frame we agree<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp; Sara Bockey:I like the idea of a prescribe timeline to make them make a decision sooner rather than later, but I'm not familiar with how Council works ...but that is my
 inclination<o:p></o:p></span></p>
