Until that time, the Chartering Organization’s liaison may fulfill the role of interim Chair. A Working Group may elect to have Co-Chairs and Vice-Chairs. Under extraordinary circumstances, ICANN staff may be requested to perform administrative co- ordination of the WG until such time a Chair can be appointed. 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. In the unlikely event that the selected Chair is rejected by the CO, the CO must articulate its reason for the rejection and the WG must be able to ask for reconsideration of the decision.</span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:start;word-spacing:0px"><span><span style="color:black"> </span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:start;word-spacing:0px"><span><span style="color:black">Section 2.2: A suggested procedure to conduct elections may be:</span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:start;word-spacing:0px"><span><span style="color:black">• Nominations or self-nominations;</span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:start;word-spacing:0px"><span><span style="color:black">• Statements of qualifications from candidates, which sets forth the qualifications, qualities and</span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:start;word-spacing:0px"><span><span style="color:black">experience that they possess that will serve the particular WG;</span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:start;word-spacing:0px"><span><span style="color:black">• Vote by simple majority;</span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:start;word-spacing:0px"><span><span style="color:black">• Notification of and subsequent confirmation by the Chartering Organization of results of</span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:start;word-spacing:0px"><span><span style="color:black">actions”.</span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span> <u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>gnso-rpm-wg mailing list<br></span><a href="mailto:gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org" target="_blank"><span>gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org</span><span></span></a><span><br></span><a href="https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-rpm-wg" target="_blank"><span>https://mm.icann.org/mailman/<wbr>listinfo/gnso-rpm-wg</span><span></span></a><span><u></u><u></u></span></p></blockquote></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div></div></div></div></div>
