[council] ICANN bylaws section 8c Absentee voting

[Glen de Saint Géry]

Dear Councillors,

Please note that the ICANN bylaws now reflect the section on Absentee voting:
http://www.icann.org/en/general/archive-bylaws/bylaws-29may08.htm#X

section 8. Except as provided by paragraph 6 of this Section, the GNSO Council shall act at meetings.

c. Absentee voting. Members that are absent from a meeting at the time of a vote on whether to initiate a PDP, forward a policy recommendation to the Board, or fill a position open for election may vote by absentee ballot. The GNSO Secretariat will provide reasonable means for transmitting and authenticating absentee ballots, which could include voting by telephone, e- mail, or web-based interface. Absentee ballots must be submitted within 72 hours following the start of the meeting in which a vote is initiated, except that in exceptional circumstances announced at the time of the vote the Chair may reduce this time to 24 hours or extend the time to 7 days.


Thank you.
Kind regards,

Glen
