>>>   All,
>>>
>>> attached is draft version v5 of the consensus building document which
>>> I’ve also uploaded to the dropbox.
>>>
>>> In addition I send you the “ICG-Consensus Building_draft_v4 + MB (1),KA
>>> V3JHA” with all latest revisions and comments from your side (I hope I’m
>>> right). I have inserted my comments to yours as well as proposals on how to
>>> proceed. ICG-Consensus Building_draft_v5 is the result of this exercise:
>>>
>>>    - it is explained that ICANN Board Liaison and ICANN Staff Laison
>>>    Expert are not taking part in the decision making
>>>    - “participants” replaced by “members”
>>>    - quorum for decision making is defined as: A quorum is a majority
>>>    of ICG members and must include at least one member of each ICG community (
>>>    https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/coordination-group-2014-06-17-en;
>>>    16 or more). This would cover Martins respective comment. If required
>>>    something could be included in case of unintended absence.
>>>    - re 4.a Personnel Decisions: in the second para. I suggest to lift
>>>    the voting threshold to the level of the quorum as defined. Otherwise a
>>>    voting with 9 affirmative votes may succeed which seems to be unbalanced.
>>>    - “small minority”: should further be discussed. I added the
>>>    condition that a recommendation is not reached if at least one of the ICG
>>>    communities (according to the list) as a whole is firmly and formally
>>>    opposed. That would mean a formal written objection by the community
>>>    leadership on behalf of their community.
>>>    - minority views – if any – should be expressed in the report (maybe
>>>    as an annex)
>>>    - chair / (and/or) vicechairs: I think the respective roles, proxies
>>>    etc. should be added to the “chair responsibility” document. Then here in
>>>    the consensus building document reference is only made to the chair.
>>>
>>>
>>>    Please provide your comments with the “comment” function in order to
>>>    make it easier to manage.
>>>
>>>    Best regards
