Kindly provide me with your input by the end of 11 April 2018, 23:59 UTC, in case you do not agree with the proposed recommendation. Thank you. = = = Topic: 17-2018: Proposed Revisions to Bylaws Section 11 – Additional Voting Thresholds Summary of request: During its meeting on 30 January 2018, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council resolved unanimously (https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+30+January+2018[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_display_gnsocouncilmeetings_Motions-2B30-2BJanuary-2B2018&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=HyTT2ymvadmiQcmo6B088sWOukGjEbibHJ64u5rMiME&m=a541AwOUq_VCVckqXrKRqOZNvALoz4Q1QxI10ZurwX4&s=DLRZpgou8PcXv9kBz6S1pZtnGLZCmv4dKLhm5cvBiE0&e=>) to recommend that the ICANN Board of Directors adopt the proposed changes to section 11.3.i of the ICANN Bylaws to reflect additional GNSO voting thresholds which are different from the current threshold of a simple majority vote of each House (see https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-revisions-bylaws-article-11-gnso-redline-19jun17-en.pdf[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system_files_files_proposed-2Drevisions-2Dbylaws-2Darticle-2D11-2Dgnso-2Dredline-2D19jun17-2Den.pdf&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=HyTT2ymvadmiQcmo6B088sWOukGjEbibHJ64u5rMiME&m=a541AwOUq_VCVckqXrKRqOZNvALoz4Q1QxI10ZurwX4&s=zCPSZUliyInYIVGESJrV8ZcdPYxp7gRqwWpJs0KVMyc&e=> [PDF, 39 KB]). These additional voting thresholds are intended to address all the new or additional rights and responsibilities in relation to participation of the GNSO as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community and to fully implement these new or additional rights and responsibilities as they appear in the revised GNSO Operating Procedures published on 30 January 2018 (see https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-30jan18-en.pdf[gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_council_op-2Dprocedures-2D30jan18-2Den.pdf&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=HyTT2ymvadmiQcmo6B088sWOukGjEbibHJ64u5rMiME&m=a541AwOUq_VCVckqXrKRqOZNvALoz4Q1QxI10ZurwX4&s=6MusYuWt3_PbFQ7doMOtJzVL9tNi-gGVN_vR4lFJU1A&e=> [PDF, 1.68 MB]).

The CCWG-Accountability WS2 final report is a compilation of eight reports generated through individual sub-groups of the CCWG-Accountability, each of which has already been the subject of public comment. These eight reports are on the topics identified at Section 27.1. of the ICANN Bylaws2<applewebdata://E888E341-34B1-4547-A791-1156BDA008C1#foot2>, which defined WS2.

Next Steps: The inputs from the public comment period will be analyzed by the CCWG-Accountability, which will consider amending the report in light of the relevant comments received about inconsistencies. The CCWG-Accountability will publish a report on the results of the public consultation. If there are no significant changes required, the CCWG-Accountability will forward its WS2 final report to its Chartering Organizations for endorsement and then to the ICANN Board for consideration and adoption.
