I actually posted the results (before the meeting had even ended), but on reading your note, I realized that I had sent it to At-Large STAFF instead of the At-Large list (auto-complete is convenient sometimes, but other times a pain in the butt). The vote has not yet concluded, as there is the option for some e-mail votes. So it is not clear if it will pass or fail at the 50% level. I think there is a 3-day period for the remaining e-mail votes. However, based on the vote so far (12 yes, 7 no, 4 abstain out of a total of 27 votes if I got it correct), the motion cannot achieve the 66% vote required to be considered a consensus policy under the RAA rules. It is unclear what the next steps are. I would expect to hear something from ICANN legal counsel or Kurt Pritz in the next while. There were some other interesting twists during the discussion that I will present in my GNSO Liaison report in the next day or so. Alan At 08/01/2009 11:14 PM, Danny Younger wrote:

The GNSO Secretariat has posted a list of resolutions passed at today's GNSO Council session. The motion to accept the package of RAA amendments was not cited, so apparently it did not pass the required 2/3 threshold. Perhaps Alan can fill us in on the vote tally, and whatever steps the Council next plans to take...
