Chat transcript:
Kimberly Carlson:Hello, welcome to today's GRC call on 13 February, at 13:00 UTC
Bart Boswinkel:Hi all
David McAuley:coffee everywhere - sorry to be late but had to spill a lot
Mirjana Tasic .rs:Hello
Stephen Deerhake:Good morning.
David McAuley:Thanks to Katrina and Alejandra and others for lots of work on Council elections guideline
David McAuley:if we do not change should we do the explanation that you suggested Katrina
David McAuley:That's an understatemnent - quite a few changes always appears a challenge in google docs
Alejandra Reynoso [.gt]:Just in case, here is the link of the Google Doc: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_document_d_1iKsEwSYh4BqaMM-5FDyhtHwZfH-2DvejUj5BeiMO5AqK8VA_edit-3Fusp-3Dsharing&d=DwICaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=GKmFfRII4Fu5R2rvaGzd2eqNVicqdIuGnamKqfKpp0hrH9ye_zt36pZ_ZlAuB8NR&m=u2xDbFSdldVijoSC08KoCF6-9j21nokvAkbH25dBbVE&s=Bl6r93t6v5tH1ECd2rfUzMD3u2VMkrpLp1hig-4JEeQ&e=
Katrina Sataki:yes, David! we need some explanation. I hope that Bart will come up with the first version :) Bart?
David McAuley:Yes - saw the two timelines and appreciated the effort to show those, thank you
Bart Boswinkel:@ KAtrina
Bart Boswinkel:wuil do
Katrina Sataki:thanks!
David McAuley:two seconds for self nominations made sense to me, if that is the change
Katrina Sataki:that's my proposal
Joke Braeken:The web form is just the "front" for an email address
Joke Braeken:one small concern: the web form would need to be adjusted with every addition of a new ccNSO Member.
Joke Braeken:if we have a drop-down for the list of ccTLDs.
Katrina Sataki:I think it is not practical...
Christelle Vaval:hi all
David McAuley:3.2.2 says only ccNSO mebrs can nominate/second
Christelle Vaval:sorry for being late
Joke Braeken:welcome Christelle
Christelle Vaval:thanks
Stephen Deerhake:That is my understanding David.
David McAuley:ok, thanks, if that works then that sounds fine
David McAuley:ok thanks Bart
David McAuley:agree w/Katrina on this point about qualification to be councilor
Eduardo Santoyo:That is something that we need to make it clear
Stephen Deerhake:Can someone mute their microphone?
Stephen Deerhake:My preference is that the council member stays on council through the remainder of their term, but does not stand again (unless they are again employed at a ccTLD).
Stephen Deerhake:I don't see how shooting a sitting Council member because of a change in their employment is helpful for the Council...
Stephen Deerhake:David is rasing an interesting point...
Bart Boswinkel:@ Stephen: one of the arguments was when a person was elected his or her link to the ccTLD was important at that point
Bart Boswinkel:and in the past comunity preceived change of affiliation differntly, on was the member who allowed the person to sit on COuncil
David McAuley:agree w Katrina on this point
David McAuley:about two seconds for self noms
Stephen Deerhake:I'm still inclinded to require a candidate have an affiliation with a ccTLD as a condition of standing for election. I am not in favour of shooting a council member solely because of a change in their employment,
Eduardo Santoyo:agree with Stephen
David McAuley:I agree @Stephen buit wonder about (recently) retired ccTLD persons
David McAuley:Oftentimes someone who has retired has a higher interest in volunteering
Eduardo Santoyo:That could be a good exception..
Alejandra Reynoso [.gt]:@David: Having a letter of support of their former ccTLD might help :) What do you think?
David McAuley:I like that idea Alejandra
Eduardo Santoyo:me too.. as an exephetion on the general understanding that the nominee have to have a ccTLD afiliation
David McAuley:six months in office used to make sense to me but view is changing, not sure why that might be
Bart Boswinkel:Majority or super majority?
Stephen Deerhake:I don't think it will work for NA. There are only 5 of us...
Bart Boswinkel:Or majority of members without regional link
Bart Boswinkel:Majority of votes cast ?
David McAuley:Majority of members sounds right
Bart Boswinkel:So 50 % of meber s + 1 need to vote
David McAuley:that's a good idea Bart
David McAuley:run the numbers to see the hurdles
Bart Boswinkel:Thank you
Bart Boswinkel:Bye all
Stephen Deerhake:Bye Bart.
David McAuley:Bye Bart
Christelle Vaval:bye
