If you cannot make a call, please advise the GNSO Secretariat and appoint a person to carry your proxy vote. You may appoint a person to vote as they see fit on your behalf (appropriate for administrative/procedural matters), or you may provide the proxy with specify voting instructions (appropriate for voting on policy recommendations and for elections). With respect to any vote for ICANN Board seat #13, you should clearly provide instructions on how to vote to the person holding your proxy (and preferably copy the instructions to the GNSO Secretariat in case there are any email delivery issues). Regards, Bruce Tonkin
