Dear Councilors, Attached please find the updated action item list for the GNSO Council call in a few minutes. Thank you, Glen -- Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat - ICANN gnso.secretariat[at]gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org On 6 sep 2007, at 14.14, GNSO.SECRETARIAT@GNSO.ICANN.ORG wrote:
Hi Avri,
The only item I can hear from Kristina was the proxy voting, getting some guidance from the General Counsel's office about proxy voting.
However, I hear Ross asked about the resolution passed by Council on November 16, 2006. http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-16nov06.shtml The motion passed Bruce Tonkin noted that the motion would be forwarded to the Board for consideration and to the constituencies to voluntarily consider.
Decision 5: The recommendations of the LSE regarding term limits for GNSO Council members should be adopted immediately by the GNSO Council with no grandfathering except in connection with the ability of a council member to serve out their existing term. A council member can serve no more than two consecutive terms (regardless of duration). Moreover, a former council member must remain off the GNSO Council for one full term prior to serving any subsequent term. However, there shall be an exception to the two term limit in connection with special circumstances (I.e. Geographic diversity requirements) where a constituency is unable to find an alternative representative to serve. In applying this special circumstance exception, the existence of an otherwise qualified candidate willing to serve on the council within that constituency shall constitute a non-rebuttable indication that special circumstances do not exist. The GNSO Council will forward this recommendation to the ICANN Board of Directors for implementation in the bylaws and also recommend to the GNSO Constituencies that they voluntarily adopt these practices until such time that they have been formally implemented by the Council and Board.
I hope this helps.

hi, i hope you can refresh my memory. at the end of the meeting Kristina aassked me to add two things to the tracking list. one was the motion for proxy voting. the other one was a followup on a reqeust for advice for something - and that something has slipped my mind again (which is full of igf and i am just starting to clear it out - these meeting are really intense and all consuming - kind of like ICANN meetings but maybe a little bit more so) if you remember (or Glen if perchance you have listened to the tape, what was the other issue) i have also sent email to Kristina asking her to remind me but i really want to get the updated chart out. thanks a.
