Background
Proxy voting is not
allowed under the current by laws.
A request to the
Board amend the bylaws is possible.
Council agreed to
await the publication of the next GNSO review report
Update
There is not a word
on proxy voting in the October 15 report from the BGC WG.
Proposal
Council request
staff to write a short options paper on conditions for proxy voting (eg who can
hold the proxy, how many proxies, notification of proxy, withdrawal of proxy
etc).
Staff can consider
the old DNSO proxy voting guidelines as a starting point. (They worked well and
were not abused.)
Council discusses
the options and then instructs staff to draft a resolution to request of Board
the preferred option.
