In this case, the Council would hold a vote during its teleconference, with sixty percent support of both houses represented in the Council being required for endorsement. If no candidate obtains that level of support, the list of endorsements obtained via the bottom-up process of stakeholder group nominations will be deemed final and forwarded to ICANN."</div><div><br></div><div>So the additional nominees would be of the GNSO generally, not of the houses or SGs. The CPH stance was thus technically fine, just ill-considered.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Bill<br>

I am told that the contracting parties blocked all additional candidates that would have added some geo diversity to the group. That part is disappointing.<div><br></div><div><div><br><div><div>Begin forwarded message:</div>
