CONSENT AGENDA
MOTION TO APPROVE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO GNSO OPERATING PROCEDURES RELATING TO ELECTION OF BOARD SEAT NO. 14
Made by: Rafik Dammak
Seconded by: Michele Neylon
WHEREAS:
- The ICANN Bylaws, Section 11.3(f) specify that the Non-Contracted Parties House (NCPH) shall select a nominee to fill Board Seat #14.
- During the 2018 NCPH Intersessional Meeting in Los Angeles, NCPH delegates agreed to develop a list of intra-House processes for the selection of a representative to fill Board Seat #14, to be jointly approved by the CSG and NCSG.
- Based on the NCPH's mandate as described in the ICANN Bylaws, and the requirement under the GNSO Operating Procedures that these procedures be included as a documented Annex, draft procedures were developed by the delegates and shared with their respective communities, for vetting and internal feedback, prior to formal adoption by the CSG and NCSG.
- As required by the ICANN Bylaws, a public comment forum on the proposed modifications was opened on 03 June 2019 and closed on 24 June 2019 with a summary report published on 08 July 2019 that noted that the two (2) comments received both supported the adoption of the NCPH’s proposed election procedures.
- As there was support in the public comment forum for the proposal modifications, the NCPH has submitted them to the GNSO Council for consideration and approval.
RESOLVED:
- The GNSO Council adopts the modifications to the GNSO Operating Procedures relating to the NCPH’s proposed election procedures for Board seat #14.
- The GNSO Council instructs ICANN staff to post the new version of the GNSO Operating Procedures, effective immediately upon adoption.
