Hello Marilyn,

Am I correct that if a councilor cannot attend this segment, that they should give a proxy notification to Glen, since there will be a vote on the ToR?

The relevant section of the bylaws state: "Members entitled to cast a majority of the total number of votes of GNSO Council members then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and acts by a majority vote of the GNSO Council members present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be acts of the GNSO Council" It would appear that proxies won't count towards the development of quorum, or for the purpose of measuring the majority vote at a meeting with there is quorum. We can of course record proxy votes in our minutes as per our rules of procedure, but the measure of whether the ToR are passed will be based on those Council members present in-person or via teleconference. This ensures that all members present can hear the arguments for and against any particular change, before making a decision. Regards, Bruce
