minutes):<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=a1><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><BR>•
“. . . not a useful exercise, not much was learnt, should not proceed further
with the prioritization exercise.”<BR>• “. . . spending more time on the
exercise will not accomplish useful results.”<BR>• “It was a difficult
exercise, policy matters were not prioritized and the core issue, management
of the workload, still has not been resolved.”<BR>• “The exercise was intended
as a first step and not intended to solve the workload management; other steps
are needed. The exercise contributed an important degree of common awareness
and dissent to the group.”<BR>• “The prioritization process could be improved
with further input from the Councilors and stakeholder groups.”<BR>• “The
exercise is important and informative from a staff perspective and the Council
needs to look at a two-step process going forward: step one - form a small
team to improve the process used to date drawing on input received; step two -
develop a process to manage the workload with input from staff of the
resources being used to support each of the working groups, which will reflect
both staff and community efforts.”<BR>• “Support was expressed for continuing
the prioritization work, but linking it to the overall ICANN Staff and
Community workload and to the <SPAN class=a>Budget process.”</SPAN><BR><SPAN
class=a>• “The question of available resources should be looked at in context.
The Vertical Integration working group as an example of one that would not
normally have commenced with all the work before Council, yet it did and the
community resources were available.”</SPAN><BR><SPAN class=a>• “Some believe
that work should be prioritized but the methodology chosen is not the most
appropriate or efficient.”</SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Except as otherwise specified in these Bylaws, Annex A hereto, or the GNSO
Operating Procedures, the default threshold to pass a GNSO Council motion or
other voting action requires a simple majority vote of each House. The voting
thresholds described below shall apply to the following GNSO actions:<BR>1.
Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of more than 25% vote of
each House or majority of one House;<BR>2. Initiate a Policy Development
Process (“PDP”) Within Scope (as described in Annex A): requires an
affirmative vote of more than 33% of each House or more than 66% of one
House;<BR>3. Initiate a PDP Not Within Scope: requires an affirmative vote of
more than 75% of one House and a majority of the other House (“GNSO
Supermajority”);<BR>4. Approve a PDP Recommendation Without a GNSO
Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a majority of each House and
further requires that one GNSO Council member representative of at least 3 of
the 4 Stakeholder Groups supports the Recommendation;<BR>5. Approve a PDP
Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a
GNSO Supermajority; and<BR>6. Approve a PDP Recommendation Imposing New
Obligations on Certain Contracting Parties: where an ICANN contract provision
specifies that “a two-thirds vote of the council” demonstrates the presence of
a consensus, the GNSO Supermajority vote threshold will have to be met or
exceeded with respect to any contracting party affected by such contract
provision.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
