[council] Posted: GNSO Operating Procedures per 30 January 2018 Motion

[Julie Hedlund]

Dear GNSO Councilors,

 

The revised GNSO Operating Procedures have been posted at https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/procedures according to the Motion entitled “Adoption of Revised GNSO Operating Procedures and Proposed Modifications of the ICANN Bylaws consistent with the recommendations of the Bylaws Drafting Team”, which was passed during the meeting on 30 January 2018.  See: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+30+January+2018. See also the link to the document at: https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-30jan18-en.pdf. 

Note that with respect to resolved clause 3 the new GNSO voting thresholds, which are different from the current threshold of a simple majority of each House, will need to be adopted by the ICANN Board.  Once these are adopted the GNSO Operating Procedures will be revised to include them and reposted.   Here is the relevant resolved clause: “The GNSO Council recommends that the ICANN Board of Directors adopt the proposed changes to section 11.3.i of the ICANN Bylaws to reflect new GNSO voting thresholds which are different from the current threshold of a simple majority vote of each House (see https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-revisions-bylaws-article-11-gnso-redline-19jun17-en.pdf). Until such time as the ICANN Board adopts the proposed changes to section 11.3.i of the ICANN Bylaws, the existing voting thresholds will remain applicable to any GNSO Council decision.”

Kind regards,

Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
