Hello Ken, As the vote was on a specific motion that was amended during the teleconference, I will record the vote as stated during the teleconference with Milton abstaining on behalf of Chun in the absence of receiving specific instructions. I will record in the minutes associated with the vote that Chun emailed the following statement to the GNSO Secretariat during the call: "I clearly support a resolution which make sure to have three representatives per constituency." I will convey the result of the motion, and the minutes associated with the motion, to the ICANN Secretary for consideration by the ICANN Board. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

Mr Chairman...
because this message was received while the council was still in conference, i would hope that the vote can amended to reflect chungs e-mail.
if the council vote cannot be amended to reflect this then i would hope that chung's message be communicated along with the vote results
Thank you for your consideration
Ken Stubbs

To all,
I clearly support a resolution which make sure to have three representatives per constituency. If I could not be on the call, I will give my proxy to Milton Mueller.

Bruce,
I would like to present the following resolution to be discussed in the teleconference:
Proposed Council resolution on Constituency representation to meet ICANN requirements on geographical diversity and informed decision-making Proposed by, in alphabetical order, Antonio Harris Ellen Shankman, Philip Sheppard Ken Stubbs
Whereas, the Names Council resolution of 1st August 2002 called for "three representatives per Constituency on the GNSO Council".
Whereas, ICANN core value 2.4 is: - "Seeking and supporting broad, informed participation reflecting the functional, geographic, and cultural diversity of the Internet at all levels of policy development and decision-making".
Whereas, ICANN core value 2.7 is: - "Employing open and transparent policy development mechanisms that (i) promote well-informed decisions based on expert advice, and (ii) ensure that those entities most affected can assist in the policy development process."
Whereas, by-law article XX.5.8 states: "In the absence of further action on the topic by the New Board, each of the GNSO constituencies shall select two representatives to the GNSO Council.." "..no later than 1 October 2003."
The GNSO council resolves that:
Two representatives per Constituency is inconsistent with ICANN core value 2.4 on geographic and cultural diversity within the constituency. With three representatives per constituency, the majority of ICANN regions ARE represented. With two, the majority of ICANN regions are NOT represented.
. Two representatives per Constituency is inconsistent with ICANN core value 2.7 on well-informed decision making. Experience has shown that three representatives improves the constituencies ability to share the workload of a council member, to be able to participate in task forces of the council, and to more effectively communicate with multiple regions. . There is no evidence of increased effectiveness with two representatives rather than three. . And therefore the GNSO Council requests the Board to make two changes in its review timetable: 1. To change the transition article to allow three representatives per constituency on the GNSO Council until the end of the ICANN annual meeting 2004; 2. To perform a review of the GNSO council in or around June 2004.
Regards
Tony Harris
