additional work before a vote.

I add my voice to the call for more work
to be done on the charter revisions before any vote is taken.

Before we all go ahead and force
a vote, it seems that enough substantive and process concerns have
been raised about the draft to reconsider the next steps. On process alone, the seven day turnaround time will not
work well for many companies and especially for associations who need
to consult with their members. On substance, it seems that the
most productive task at this point would be to work on a more streamlined,
neutral charter.
Also, can someone explain the timing of
when (if at all) the BC may eventually merge into a larger constituency?
Thanks,
Sarah

Subject: [bc-gnso] Ballot for a
new BC Charter
Dear Members
Ballot on revised BC Charter
At the request of the BC Officers and with reference to the
message below, I have today opened a 7-day voting period for the newly
revised BC Charter.
A majority approval vote means the new Charter
will be adopted. A majority non-approval vote means the Charter will not
be adopted.
A ballot form is attached. Each member organisation has one
vote. The vote should be placed by the principle BC contact for the membership
organsiation or by notified proxy. I will apply weighted voting when I receive
your ballot form. All ballots will be acknowledged.
The voting period closes at midnight in your time zone on
Monday 19 October 2009. Ballots cannot be accepted after this time.
Best wishes
----------------------------------------------------
We would like to ask all members to cast their vote in
favour of the attached revised BC Charter.
A definitive PDF version is attached.
A Word version showing recent track changes is also provided
for information.
The Charter accommodates necessary changes for the
re-structured GNSO in which the stakeholder groups provide representatives to
the GNSO council.
As such the BC will move from a situation in which its three
GNSO representatives were also BC Officers, to a separation of these roles.
There will be a new executive committee with a chair and two
vice-chairs in addition to the two representatives to the GNSO Council.
The Charter also includes other changes recommended by
members and ICANN staff based on learning since the last Charter.
The officers have done their best to accommodate all member
perspectives given the diversity of those perspectives.
The Board has requested Constituencies complete work on
