[ICANN-CSC] CSC Quorate Rule Amendment

[Lars-Johan Liman]

Nigel,

The changes to the procedures document mentioned by Byron include a
statement to the effect that the committee can continue, but with a
limited remit - it can only process the monthly reports from the PTI and
not perform "other work". In addition, when there are vacancies, all
decisions (i.e.., to approve the report) will have to be unanimous.

In addition, and AFAIK, the process to fill the vacancies is moving
along nicely, so I look forward to welcoming new members shortly.

				Best regards,
				  /Liman

> Dear colleagues,

> event one or more seats of the four (4) members are vacant.
> After looking at the procedures again: I suggest that we amend section
> 5.2 ( the quorum) rule to:

> A CSC meeting shall be quorate if the 4 (four) Members are present at
> the meeting. In the exceptional circumstance where there are one or
> more vacancies in the Members, the CSC meeting shall be quorate if all
> appointed Members are present. The notes will state if the meeting was
> quorate, or, if only quorate for a part of the meeting, state which
> items of business were discussed when quorate. This internal rule will
> be reviewed in conjunction with the first review of the CSC charter.
> In addition, and to capture the limitation in the power to take
> decisions, I also suggest to amend section 6.1 ( decision-making at
> meetings) and 6.2 decision-making by email by adding the following
> line:
> In the exceptional circumstance where there are one or more vacancies
> in the Members, the decision-making of the CSC shall be limited to and
> not go beyond the approval of the CSC’s monthly report.
> For your reference I have include a redline version of the Internal procedure.
> If there are no objections by the other members by 28 September 23.59
> UTC, I will consider the proposed changes adopted,

> Kind regards,
> Byron
