Dear Wendy,

Pursuant to the GNSO Council Operating Procedures section 4.4 Absentee Voting Procedures GNSO Council Operating Procedures approved 13 September 2012 for the GNSO Council and updated. <http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-13jun13-en.pdf> absentee voting is allowed on the motion on the Adoption of the Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings Policy Development Process Final Report and Recommendations.

Your absentee ballot follows. Please indicate your preference with an X and send the lines preceded with *asterisks directly to the GNSO Council Mailing list.

* On the motion I vote:

* [ X ] Yes

* [ ] No

* [ ] Abstain

* Password: Green-5

Note that I vote in favor only because Recommendation 4's "reveal" of registrants behind privacy or proxy services is a "may." I expect that we will gather data for future evaluation of how often these procedures are used as denial-of-service attacks or identification attacks against legitimate domain registrants. Thank you, --Wendy

This process should be completed within 72 hours of the meeting which ended at 15:20 UTC on Thursday, 1 August 2013. (The completed ballot is due NLT 15:20 UTC, Sunday, 4 August 2011)

2. This PDP has followed the prescribed PDP steps as stated in the Bylaws, resulting in a Final Report delivered on 5 July 2013;

3. The Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings WG has reached full consensus on the recommendations in relation to addressing the issues identified with the locking of a domain name subject to UDRP Proceedings;
