Cheryl, After having read the last WG output at https://st.icann.org/data/workspaces/alac/attachments/at_large_advisory_ committee:20080729041513-0-3574/files/FinalReport-GNSO-ImprovementsWG.pd f it seems like the proposed GNSO restructuralization could be as follows (Attachment A) ------------------------------ 2 houses - contracted and non-contracted parties/constituencies, 2 parties in each house House 1 - Contracted party house consists of 2 (registry and registrar) constituencies House 2 - Non-contracted party house consists of 2 (commercial and non-commercial) parties/constituencies that is, 4 parties/constituencies in both the houses collectively. The GNSO Council (given that the lowest proposed number of members are considered) House 1 Registries - 3 members Registrars - 3 members House 2 Commercial - 5 members Non-commercial - 5 members and also Equal number of votes between registries and registrars. Equal number of votes between commercial and non-commercial users. ------------------------------ Do I understand the proposal correctly, Cheryl? If so, there is a question I could not find an answer to. Q: What is the proposed number of votes for each of the four GNSO Council parties?
