Dear Olga, You should fill in the form http://gnso.icann.org/council/abstention-notification-form-en.htm and I believe according to the procedures, you give your proxy to the unaffiliated NCA, in this case Carlos see http://gnso.icann.org/council/gnso-op-procedures-05aug10-en.pdf Proxy voting 4.5.3 b ii. If an abstention is declared by a House NCA, once formal notification has occurred pursuant to the procedures in Paragraph 4.5.4-a, a proxy is automatically transferred to the GNSO Council's unaffiliated NCA (hereinafter Council NCA) and any vote cast will be counted within the House to which the abstaining NCA is assigned. The Council NCA may exercise only one proxy at a time; therefore, the first abstention remedy properly 2 The term "appointing organization" (see Section 1.3.1) does not comprise the Nominating Committee; therefore, the Voting Direction remedy does not apply to House NCAs. Version 2.0 Page 18 transferred to the Council NCA, including all measures/motions specified, takes precedence. It should be noted that, because NCAs do not have an appointing organization, as defined in these procedures (see Section 1.3.1), to provide specific voting direction, the Council NCA may exercise his/her best judgment, including abstaining, on the matter at issue. If the Council NCA abstains or does not cast a vote for any other reason, no further remedies are available and the automatic proxy will be nullified. The original House NCA will be recorded in the minutes as having abstained from the vote. So please fill out the form giving your proxy to Carlos. And to be sure, I am putting Rob Hoggarth on copy. Thank you very much, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Stéphane Van Gelder Sent: jeudi 13 janvier 2011 17:57 To: Olga Cavalli Cc: GNSO Council Subject: [council] Re: [council] Today´s conference call Thanks for letting us know Olga.
