Hi This mail list slipped into silence some time ago but I’m wondering whether we shouldn’t be communicating about Council elections? Discussion of the 2016 NCPH meeting has also stalled… Bill
Begin forwarded message:
From: Glen de Saint Géry <Glen@icann.org> Subject: [liaison6c] GNSO Council chair election: proposed procedure & timetable - 2015 Consent Agenda resolution Date: September 8, 2015 at 12:40:09 AM GMT+2 To: liaison6c <liaison6c@gnso.icann.org>
FYI
Dear Councillors, The Council, on Thursday, 3 September 2015, approved the GNSO Chair election timetable and procedure that is published at http://gnso.icann.org/en/elections/proposed-council-chair-03sep15-en.pdf <http://mailer.samanage.com/wf/click?upn=KTB340yHI8DoUtMP4BGJniX-2B-2BEUd2c9k...>
In summary, the timeline is as follows:
25 September – deadline for nominations 2 October – candidate statements 17/18 October – Q & A with candidates 21 October – GNSO Chair Election As a reminder, 'each house will be allowed to nominate one candidate for GNSO Council Chair. Each house is responsible for determining how to nominate its candidate. A candidate for GNSO Council Chair does not need to be a member of a house, but must be a member of the GNSO Council'. For further information, please see section 2.2 of the GNSO Operating Procedures (GNSO Operating Procedures v3. 24 June 2015 <http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-24jun15-en.pdf <http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-24jun15-en.pdf>>)
Proposed procedure in Dublin –October 2015
Each candidate will have the opportunity of meeting with Council Members during the GNSO working sessions in Dublin on the weekend of 17/18 October 2015 (remote participation possible). Election of the chair by voting of the Council will take place during the Council meeting in Dublin on Wednesday, 21 October 2015. In order for the vote to take place, the Council meeting will be split in two parts: · Standard, open and public Council meeting with the current Council. · Adjourn the meeting · Re-seat the Council with the new Councilors. · Re-start new meeting, with one specific agenda item: Election of the Chair
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Kind regards,
Glen
