Hi Ken I have looked at the process map - it's complexity led me to a simple "fail-safe" procedure; Advise absence to Secretariat and SG which then indicates the proxy. At the moment my admin focus is on finalisation of the NCSG Charter My policy focus is on 'operationalising' ICANN's commitment to consumers thru structure, strategy and decision processes If there's time in Colombia - let's catch up Cheers Rosemary Sent from my BlackBerry® from Optus -----Original Message----- From: "Ken Bour" <ken.bour@verizon.net> Sender: <owner-council@gnso.icann.org> Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 08:31:06 To: 'Rosemary Sinclair'<Rosemary.Sinclair@atug.org.au> Cc: 'Glen de Saint Géry'<Glen@icann.org>; Robert Hoggarth<robert.hoggarth@icann.org>; <liz.gasster@icann.org>; Council GNSO<council@gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] RE: Absence from Council Rosemary: I have been apprised that there are no motions scheduled for this Thursday’s GNSO Council meeting; therefore, there is no need to implement any voting remedies such as proxy. Rather than attempt to write out the procedures, may I ask that you take a look at a visual map that Staff prepared which diagrams how the voting remedies work for various conditions such as absence or abstention. The procedures map is located at: http://gnso.icann.org/council/visual-procedures-map-en.htm and contains sample language for the various emails that might be created under different scenarios. Staff has a standing offer available to any SG/C that would like to have a briefing or tutorial on the voting remedies procedures.
