Actually Robin, I have an issue that needs to be discussed. And I
hope I understand this right, if I don't then ignore this entire
message.<br>
<br>
Recently we had an election to approve a charter or something and as
I understand it - non voters were counted as "no" votes. If that
isn't the case ignore this message, but if it is - that's
fundamentally wrong. You can not predeclare what the intentions of
someone who chooses not to speak are. It's stealing someone else's
voice.<br>
<br>
I have no problem requiring a minimum participation level. We should
encourage those who don't want to take a side to vote "present" as a
way of voting not to vote, and being part of the quorum. And we
could even penalize those who habitually don't participate. <br>
<br>
So - if this is so - and if this is the right forum to address it, I
make the suggestion to move to a system that is fundamentally fair.
I think that it is important that the process itself be as clean as
possible.<br>
<br>
Thoughts anyone?<br>

specified in these Bylaws, Annex A hereto, or the
GNSO Operating Procedures, the default threshold
to pass a GNSO Council motion or other voting
action requires a simple majority vote of each
House. The voting thresholds described below shall
apply to the following GNSO actions:<br>
1. Create an Issues Report: requires an
affirmative vote of more than 25% vote of each
House or majority of one House;<br>
2. Initiate a Policy Development Process (“PDP”)
Within Scope (as described in Annex A): requires
an affirmative vote of more than 33% of each House
or more than 66% of one House;<br>
3. Initiate a PDP Not Within Scope: requires an
affirmative vote of more than 75% of one House and
a majority of the other House (“GNSO
Supermajority”);<br>
4. Approve a PDP Recommendation Without a GNSO
Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a
majority of each House and further requires that
one GNSO Council member representative of at least
3 of the 4 Stakeholder Groups supports the
Recommendation;<br>
5. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO
Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a
GNSO Supermajority; and<br>
6. Approve a PDP Recommendation Imposing New
Obligations on Certain Contracting Parties: where
an ICANN contract provision specifies that “a
two-thirds vote of the council” demonstrates the
presence of a consensus, the GNSO Supermajority
vote threshold will have to be met or exceeded
with respect to any contracting party affected by
such contract provision.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
