FYI Please note the GNSO Operating procedures : http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-26mar14-en.pdf An abstaining or absent Council member as defined above (the Proxy Giver) may transfer his or her vote to any other Council member (the Proxy Holder). GNSO Operating Procedures, Version 2.8 Page 16 The Proxy Holder must vote in order of precedence according to one of three types: 1. An instruction from the Proxy Giver's appointing organization (if applicable), or if none; 2. An instruction from the Proxy Giver, or in the absence of either; 3. The Proxy Holder's own conscience. a. Multiple Proxies A GNSO Council member is not permitted to be a Proxy Holder for more than one Proxy Giver. b. Quorum An absent Council member does not count toward quorum even if a proxy has been established. A Temporary Alternate (see Section 4.7-Temporary Alternate below) if present, would count toward quorum. c. Proxy Notification A proxy notification must be sent to the GNSO Secretariat and should indicate which type it is. The notification should, where applicable, be sent by the Proxy Giver's appointing organization. Ordinarily a proxy notification must be received by the GNSO Secretariat before the start of the relevant meeting. Exceptionally, a proxy notification may be given during a meeting by a Council member who is present but needs to leave before a vote. In all cases the most recent notification takes precedence.
