Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] Voting Update From: "Ted Ernst" <ted@chicagohumanist.org> Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2007 19:22:37 -0500 To: "Bret Fausett" <bfausett@internet.law.pro> CC: "NA Discuss" <na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org> I (Ted Ernst representing Emerging Futures Network) abstain on the Draft Operating Principles at this time. I'm still unclear on much of what we're doing, and how voting works. Some questions: 1.) What are the boundaries of our region? I ask because I see we use English and French, which presumably covers USA and Canada, but not Spanish, which tells me Mexico is not in our region. Is this correct? 2.) 70% affirmative vote is required to adopt the Operating Principles. Is there a time-limit? Am I free to change my vote anytime before we reach the 70%? 3.) Is the document we're currently voting on fixed until is passes or can it be changed in order to satisfy concerns raised during voting? If it's changed, are previously cast votes void and we start over? Sorry for my basic ignorance and newness. Hopefully I'll catch up soon. peace, ted On 6/4/07, Bret Fausett <bfausett@internet.law.pro> wrote:
Hi folks,
I'm sorry for the short delay in responding to the list. I moved houses last week and much of life has been in and out of boxes since our conference call. Anyway, returning to the matters at hand, on our conference call last week, we asked all accredited ALSs who had either not voted or abstained to review the Draft Operating Principles and the Draft Code of Conduct again and cast an affirmative or negative vote on the documents. We agreed that At Large Staff would reach out to non-voting ALSs to let them know that if they did not cast a vote by tomorrow, Tuesday, June 5th, we would deem them not "active" for purposes of this ratification vote described in Paragraph 15 of the Operating Principles. After the close of the day, Hawaii time, tomorrow, I will send an announcement to the list with our status.
Bret
