<div>Referring to the current situation, I agree that it is the best way right now to elect to vice chairs (and that we at the same time clearly refer to the fact that this does not stop our candidate to step up for the chair election).<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Best,<br /></div><div>Petter</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">-- </span></span></span><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Petter Rindforth, LL M </span></span></span><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Fenix Legal KB </span></span></span><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Stureplan 4c, 4tr </span></span></span><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">114 35 Stockholm </span></span></span><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Sweden </span></span></span><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Fax: +46(0)8-4631010 </span></span></span><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Direct phone: +46(0)702-369360 </span></span></span><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">E-mail: petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu </span></span></span><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">www.fenixlegal.eu </span></span></span><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">NOTICE </span></span></span><br /></div><div><span class="highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="colour" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">This e-mail message is intended solely for the individual or individuals to whom it is addressed.

It merely says there are two vice chairs, one from each house, with terms of no more than one
year (but no term limits are stated, other than those that apply to them as Councilors).<br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">There is no provision for the current situation.

the term.<br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">As a governance matter, the GNSO Council is likely better off with two vice-chairs, but it can certainly function for a limited period of time with one.<br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">We are in uncharted territory.<br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">Greg<br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_extra"><div><br /></div><div class="oneComWebmail-gmail_quote"><div>On Thu, Oct 22, 2015 at 7:33 AM, McGrady, Paul D. <span dir="ltr">

What's the plan for our (interim?) vice chair? No doubt it will come up in today's wrap up session.<br />
