  Silvia Vivanco:Hello all Welcome to today's call

  Oksana Prykhodko:+1)

  Terri Agnew:Action items: https://community.icann.org/x/-BuOAw

  Roberto Gaetano:It is actually not "restricted", it's open but not well attended

  Oksana Prykhodko:I have problems with sound(

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:Hello All, sorry I'm a bit late...

  Terri Agnew:Welcome Jean-Jacques Subrenat and Mikhail Medrish

  Terri Agnew:@Oksana, would you like the op to dial back out to you? to see if we can get a better connection

  Oksana Prykhodko:@Terri - thank you!

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:I've clicked the right places, but my mic. has not been activated.

  Terri Agnew:Welcome Yuliya Morenets

  Roberto Gaetano:Traffic? In Moscow? :>)

  Yuliya Morenets:Good afternoon

  Terri Agnew:@Jean-Jacques, please send me a private AC chat if a dial out on the telephone would work at this time for you.

  Yuliya Morenets:Could you please indicate the page we are discussing, as I'm a bit late

  Terri Agnew:@Oksana, any better audio quality yet?

  Mikhail Medrish:@Yuliya Point 12, page 2

  Oksana Prykhodko:Are we speaking both on f2f GA, sponsored by ICANN, or any other GA?

  Oksana Prykhodko:@ Terri - thank you very much!

  Yuliya Morenets:thanks a lot Mihail

  Yuliya Morenets:Olivier, I would change shall to need

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:ah, laptop mic. seems enabled now.

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:My laptop mic. seems enabled now.

  Terri Agnew:@Jean-Jacques, excellent news, thank you for sharing

  Roberto Gaetano:I think that a vote, to be valid, must have at least 50%+1 of the members. If a GA has 1/3 of the participants, still the vote must be from 50%+1, so an online voting is necessary

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:@Yulia: good catch about quorum. I suggest "To be quorate, the GA requires..."

  Yuliya Morenets:@ JJ, yes, this seems good

  Yuliya Morenets:@ Roberto, so if we have the online voting, which can be done by people being in the room and being elsewhere, the equal participation is garanteed

  Yuliya Morenets:and transparency as well

  Oksana Prykhodko:not for extra-ordinary GA

  Roberto Gaetano:@Yuliya: understood. Fine for me, as long as in the end 50%+1 of the members have formally accepted the motion on the table - not just the 50%+1 of the members that have voted

  Oksana Prykhodko:50+1 for Annual GA, 1/3 for extraordinary GA

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:30 -> 50%+1 = 16 voices

  Yuliya Morenets:@Roberto: do u mean 50+1 persent in the room?

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:16 voices voting is my understanding

  Roberto Gaetano:@Yuliya: no, 50%+1 of the total membership

  Yuliya Morenets:@ Mihail: different levels, 100% agree

  Yuliya Morenets:@ Roberto: totaly agree!

  Oksana Prykhodko:+1Olivier!

  Yuliya Morenets:@ agree with Mihail and Olivier about diferent quorums for different GA

  Oksana Prykhodko:9 voices  is 3 person with 2 proxies

  Oksana Prykhodko:If we will have 50+1 voices during GA, what can be changed during addition period?

  Roberto Gaetano:If the majority, i.e. 50%+1 of the members, have already expressed a positive vote, there is no point in having the vote still open, excepto for courtesy for the absent members. So a red herring.

  Oksana Prykhodko:+1 @Roberto

  Roberto Gaetano:@OCL +1

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:FWIW, "Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised" states that the quorum set in an organization's bylaws "should approximate the largest number that can be depended on to attend any meeting except in very bad weather or other extremely unfavorable conditions."  ;-)

  Mikhail Medrish:GA is quorate - the deсision is made.

  Oksana Prykhodko:sorry, have to quite

  Mikhail Medrish:Bye

  Roberto Gaetano:@JJS: so if we have the AGM in the middle of the Amazonian jungle...

  Roberto Gaetano:... during the rain season :)

  Yuliya Morenets:well, I do agree as well

  Roberto Gaetano:not "quora", just "quorum", invariant

  Yuliya Morenets:We are hearing u Olivier

  Roberto Gaetano:1 person agreeing is a quorum?

  Mikhail Medrish:Thank you and see you in Helsinki

  Yuliya Morenets:bye, see you

  Matthieu Camus:thank you!
