Voting Options for GNSO Chair
by Drazek, Keith Oct. 12, 2020

Oct. 12, 2020

Hi all, As we discussed briefly at the end of our 24 September Council meeting, we need to finalize the process by which the next GNSO Council will vote for its new Chair. So we're all on the same page: 1. Philippe Foucart is the sole candidate for GNSO Chair. 2. The new Council will conduct the vote after the Annual Global Meeting transition. 3. Appointment of the GNSO Chair requires 60% support of each house. 4. Historically, votes for Chair have been conducted in-person with paper ballots and votes are anonymous. 5. We are currently in a unique situation that the Chair position is not contested and we're not able to meet in person to conduct a paper vote. 6. The Council leadership team and staff have discussed a range of options from acclamation to a secret email vote, and are recommending that we conduct a simple roll-call vote. This will clearly establish that the minimum threshold had been met to avoid a run-off between the Candidate and "none-of-the-above," while avoiding the unnecessary complexity of holding an email vote for an uncontested seat. If anyone has concerns about this suggested approach, please let us know before the end of this week. Thanks and regards, Keith
