Framework of Interpretation WG
by Keith Davidson May 29, 2014

May 29, 2014

Hi all, My expectation that the Framework of Interpretation would be finalised for ICANN London has proved impossible, due to a number of "11th hour" issues raised by some WG members relating to the proposed final text. The WG will now seek to finalise the FOI during the London meeting, and therefore should have the final report shortly after the end of June. My apologies for this late change. Katrina, Bart, Gabi and Kristina, this will mean some necessary adjustments to the time required for FOIWG reports to the ccNSO and the GAC, so I will follow up with you all on this. Cheers Keith

Your help needed: Short *but important* survey on non-votes
by Gabriella Schittek May 28, 2014

May 28, 2014

Dear ccNSO members, We would be very grateful if you could help us on an important matter by participating in a really short survey (it only has 2-4 questions, depending on how you answer), dealing with the matter of "Non-votes" during voting and elections. As you know, we are in the pleasant position of being able to welcome more and more members. Today, the ccNSO counts 150 members, which we are really happy about and we hope to welcome many more. However, with a growing membership, the ccNSO has also started facing problems in reaching the quorum when members are asked to vote. A ccNSO working group tried to address this issue and came to the conclusion that there seem to be some cultural issues behind the interpretation of a "non-vote": in some areas, a non-vote might mean an ³abstention², in others - ³I do not subscribe to this policy². To handle this issue, a suggestion was made to let members define themselves how a ³non-vote² should be interpreted before every voting occasion. This would help the ccNSO to avoid misunderstandings and to reduce the necessity to run second rounds of voting and thus to avoid the fatigue of those members who do vote. This brief survey is aiming to find out how you, our members, view this suggestion, so that we know how to move forward on this matter. We would therefore be really grateful if you could spend a few minutes on replying to this very important survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/H986GLP The survey is open until 11 June 2014. Kind regards, Gabi
