Law To allege or prove insane and so not legally responsible. Thanks, Nigel, learning every day! ; ) awe (ô) n. 1. A mixed emotion of reverence, respect, dread, and wonder inspired by authority, genius, great beauty, sublimity, or might From: Nigel Roberts [mailto:nigel@channelisles.net] Sent: vrijdag 7 juni 2013 17:14 To: Roelof Meijer Cc: Katrina Sataki; Nigel Roberts; ccnso-council(a)icann.org Subject: Re: [ccnso-members] Reminder: Voting on IDN ccPDP A quorum rule aims at assuring inclusion, preventing capture and stimulates active participation in decision making. Indeed it does! And I am certainly not arguing for the removal of the quorum rule. The contrary, in fact. Generally speaking I would expect a vote which does not reach quorum to fail -- this rule would mean that change can only happen with the positive involvement of a certain, preset, percentage of the electorate. (Of course, a quorum should be set at such a level as not to stultify decision making!)

Re: [ccnso-members] Reminder: Voting on IDN ccPDP

Nigel, You are, of course, right! And the question is not stupid at all. However, the answer is not simple. The Council established a group to review the election process and to identify issues related to the current voting scheme. I am chairing the group. During our discussions we also identified several related issues (which are not directly relevant to the main task of our group but which we thought are worth exploring). One of the issues concerns the current quorum rule. In Beijing we presented our finding to the Council and the Council agreed that the quorum rule should be discussed by a larger group. I will keep you informed!

If all we do if the quorum is not reached, is have another vote where the quorum doesn't apply, then I fail to see the point of having a quorum. (Forgive me for asking such a stupid question, but we weren't members when these rules were adopted).
