the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election procedure (Section 1.2.8.9) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee acts as a conduit between the RSSAC and the ICANN Nominating Committee reporting on matters

that includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination. In the event that only one candidate is standing
for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. In the event that two or more candidates are standing for election, the RSSAC Chair will call for a vote. Members will indicate their selection. A simple majority (half plus one) of
the voting members will establish the new liaison. In the event a simple majority is not achieved due to having more than two nominees, the nominee with the least number of votes is eliminated and the voting is repeated with the reduced slate of names. The
process is repeated until a nominee achieves a simple majority. In the event of a tie, a runoff election will occur with members indicating their selection. In the event of a second tie, the floor will be opened for discussion followed by a new vote with the
simple majority designating the new liaison. The RSSAC Chair will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the reciprocating body. If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new outgoing liaison through this process.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
