Status Update - ICANN input placeholder + letter to Steve and Fadi
by Byron Holland June 4, 2014

June 4, 2014

Dear Colleagues, Please see attached two documents. The first is a placeholder letter that I have submitted to the ICANN Accountability process as a placeholder letter due to the fact that the timing of the original input period does not allow us to go through required ccNSO process. Its content requires no further explanation. The second is a letter I intend to send to Steve and Fadi on the issue of input periods being too short to allow the ccNSO (and other SO/ACs) to go through its mandated process to provide comment. Unless I hear feedback to the contrary, I intend to send this letter later this week. All the best, Byron

Reminder: Short *but important* survey on non-votes
by Gabriella Schittek June 3, 2014

June 3, 2014

Dear all, Many thanks to all of you who already replied to the survey on how to interpret non-votes! However, I hope that we can encourage many more of you to let us know what your thoughts are, so that we know which direction to take on this important matter: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/H986GLP The survey is very short only 2-4 questions (depending on your replies) and is open until 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 > >
