Last chance: Short *but important* survey on non-votes
by Gabriella Schittek June 10, 2014

June 10, 2014

Dear ccNSO members, Many thanks to all of you who already replied to the survey on how to interpret non-votes! However, in order to get a better overview on what everyone thinks, we need even more replies: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/H986GLP The survey is very short only 2-4 questions (depending on your replies) and is open until Wednesday, 11 June 2014. Kind regards, Gabi From: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday 28 May 2014 15:46 To: "ccnso-members(a)icann.org" <ccnso-members(a)icann.org> Cc: "ccnso-council(a)icann.org" <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] Your help needed: Short *but important* survey on non-votes > 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 > >
