>  The following two documents are attached for consideration in our Council
> meeting tomorrow, 28 January 2010:
>
> 1.      MOTION TO APPROVE PROCEDURES FOR THE 2010 ELECTION OF BOARD SEAT
> 13
>
> 2.      A redlined revised version of ‘GNSO Operating Procedures’
> containing procedures for election of an ICANN Board Director to fill seat
> #13.
>
>
>
> I am hereby making the motion referenced in item 1 above.
>
>
>
> I apologise for the last minute nature of this motion and for the fact that
> it misses the 8-day deadline for motions stated in the GNSO Operating
> Procedures.  Because of the lateness, we will have to approve an exception
> to the 8-day requirement before we may act on the motion.

> Unfortunately, the task of filling seat #13 was missed until just a few
> days ago and I take responsibility for that.  Thanks to Glen for catching
> it.  As you can see in the motion itself, the ICANN Bylaws require very
> quick action on this election and hence give us very little time to act.
> We just consulted with the General Council’s Office today and learned that
> a 21-day comment period is needed for approval of the Procedures.  Margie
> kindly wrote the motion in a way that allows us to move forward quickly and
> meet the Bylaws requirements if the Council approves the motion.

>
>
> Please forward this motion to your Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies
> right away.  I understand that there will be inadequate time to obtain
> feedback, but I believe that the proposed procedure is non-controversial and
> consistent with the intent of the Bylaws changes approved last year allowing
> for the Contracted Party House to elect the Director for seat #13.  There
> will be opportunity to discuss this in our meeting.
>
>
>
> Thanks for your understanding and cooperation on this.  Please ask any
> questions you have and make comments if you like.
