Dear all, The members vote will commence shortly. This is part of the ccNSO Policy Development Process*. According to the rules of the ccNSO Policy Development Process, you will vote on the ccNSO Council Recommendation. This ccNSO Council Recommendation includes all proposals relating to: · The selection criteria, requirements and processes for IDN ccTLD strings, and · The inclusion of IDN ccTLD managers in the ccNSO, and proposed changes to the Article IX of the ICANN Bylaws, which are relevant for all members of the ccNSO. The Council Recommendation is fully documented in the Members Report (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/idn-ccpdp-members-18apr13-en.pdf <http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/idn-ccpdp-members-18apr13-en.pdf> ). You will receive an electronic ballot, to vote either in favor of, against, or abstain from the Council Recommendation In the first round of voting 50% or more of the membership needs to vote. To date the ccNSO has 136 members, therefore at least 68 members need to vote to carry it through. So please vote! If 67 or less members vote, the votes will not be employed and a second, final round is needed. In order to pass, 66% of all the votes lodged need to be in favor of the Council Recommendation. Finally, in order to assist you, the secretariat has conducted a webinar on the voting. In the webinar an explanation of the voting process and Council Recommendation is provided. The recoding and slides are available at: http://icann.adobeconnect.com/p9b0ox2ifdb/ The slides will be posted separately today. Kind regards, Bart * In terms of the graphical representation of the ccNSO PDP we are in the members voting stage: ccNSO PDP Process in Graphs <http://ccnso.icann.org/policy/pdp-15jan13-en.pdf>
