I agree. We need to have some kind of proxy voting in place. Many of us are frequently on airplanes, in other meetings that can't be rescheduled, etc. and need some way for our views to be reflected in the council meeting - proxies are an easy way to do that. Is there even a rationale for why we currently don't allow proxy voting? Thank you. Robin tony.ar.holmes@bt.com wrote:
I would like to support Norbert's request, we need to look at the use of proxy voting again.

Dear Council Colleagues, dear Bruce, dear Glen,
I have not been able to participate in the recent discussions for technical constraints (computer/network). At present, the heavy rainy season makes it difficult to maintain stable wireless and satellite connection ("rain degradation") I will try to be online on Thursday, but
maybe it will not work for me.
All the more I would like to ask that the council can discuss again the possibility to create proxy vote facilities.

Hello All,
I have also improved this motion after input from Dan Halloran, Maria Farrell, Denise Michael, and various members of the GNSO community!
Regards, Bruce Tonkin
I propose the following new motion:
"The GNSO Council notes that, consistent with generally accepted
privacy
principles, Registrars are required under clause 3.7.7.4 of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement to provide notice to each new or renewed Registered Name Holder stating:
(i) The purposes for which any Personal Data collected from the applicant are intended;
(ii) The intended recipients or categories of recipients of the data (including the Registry Operator and others who will receive the data from Registry Operator);
(iii) Which data are obligatory and which data, if any, are voluntary; and
(iv) How the Registered Name Holder or data subject can access and, if necessary, rectify the data held about them.
To further understand the range of purposes for which data is
intended,
the GNSO proposes the following steps:
(1) The ICANN staff will review a sample of registrar agreements with Registered Name Holders to identify some of the purposes for which registrars collect Personal Data in the course of registering a domain name for their customers.
(2) The ICANN staff will review a sample of cctld registry or cctld registrar agreements with registrants to identify some of the purposes for which these organisations collect Personal Data from registrants.
(3) The ICANN staff will summarise the current material that has resulted from WHOIS discussions since 2002 that document the current uses of the data that is currently made public through the WHOIS service.
(4) Based on the material produced in steps (1), (2) and (3) above,
the
Council will undertake a dialogue with the ICANN Advisory Committee's such as the GAC, SSAC and ALAC regarding the purposes for collecting Personal Data, and discuss whether any policy development is required
in
this area consistent with ICANN's mission and core values.
The dialogue should seek to examine and understand consumer
protection,
privacy/data protection and law enforcement perspectives."
