I propose a slight change: "... unless a majority..." should be changed to "... unless a simple majority..." Best, /Stephen -----Original Message----- From: owner-ccnso-council@icann.org [mailto:owner-ccnso-council@icann.org] On Behalf Of Nigel Roberts Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2016 7:56 AM To: ccnso-council@icann.org Subject: Re: [ccnso-council] Item 7 Since Council members present at the meeting were in general agreement that "All meetings shall be open to observers, unless a majority vote at that meeting resolves to close the meeting due to one of confidential topics s being dealt with; and that the meeting shall only be closed to observers for the duration of the confidential item". It was felt that this should be the subject of an online vote before the next Council call so all Councillors, including those not present could have the opportuntity vote on it. I think that expresses it?
