Subject: [council] Results from the NC telecon, Sept 30th
Council,
Please find minutes from today NC telecon.
I do not remember if we resolved to not eliminate at all
anybody in the preliminary vote, or if we decided to eliminate
those with zero votes -- please clarify. The current text is no
elimination at all.
Your verification of minutes and any corrections are welcome.
I completed the September 23rd NC telecon minutes with
the information on the 90 days waiver -- please check
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/19990923.NCtelecon-minutes.html
I intend to post both, Sept 23rd and todays minutes, to the ga
and announce lists no later than Monday, Oct 4th, 18:00 CET.
Elisabeth

* October 11-15, Election of ICANN Board Members
Issues:
a. Modifications
b. Clarification of final procedures
c. The issue of proxy is postponed to the next NC telecon,
Tuesday
Oct 5th.
Modifications:
The purpose of the preliminary round is to learn (practice of
voting
procedure by the NC) and to show relative preferences between
nominees.
It was resolved that candidates with marginal support (zero, one or
two
votes) will not be eliminated. This imply additional rounds to each
election.
Clarification of final procedures:
Each vote is taken in conjunction with the NC teleconference, using
email or voice telephone to the special number provided by the
secretariat.
All votes are confidential untill the end of election. After
election
every single vote of every NC member will be published.
Confidentiality clause imply that all voting NC teleconferences
will
not be publicly webcasted (if technically possible the restricted
webcast will be provided for the NC members only).
During voting time both council list and special vote list will be
restricted to the 19 members of the NC plus secretariat (actually
this
list includes also Joe Sims and Mike Roberts).
During voting time the archiving of the council list will be stoped
(hidden until the end of the election).
Abstentions are possible.
Bylaws require majority of the NC for the affirmative vote, i.e.
10.
The proxy issue, legitimate in a long process of numerous
teleconferences, will be discussed on October 5th NC telecon. The
ICANN
legal advise is needed to be sure the vote will not be invalidated.
In case of the deadlock in the Nth election, the new call for
nominations will be issued, concerning only not yet elected
regions.
All candidates eliminated in the Nth election will be back in the
ballot for the N+1 election, except those from the geographic
regions
with already elected candidates.
To be considered in the vote, a candidate shall be nominated and
accept
nomination according to the call for nomination posted on the
www.dnso.org. The deadline is October 8th, 18:00 CET (local time
for
other places provided).
The full record of votes will be archived, allowing the scrutiny by
the
third party in case of hostile reaction.
The results and only the results of the preliminary vote (the one
showing relative preferences between nominees) will be sent to the
19
NC members only.

* The DNSO Business Plan and Budget
It is urgent to solve liability and expenses issues.
For liability issues it is urgent to better understand the legal
status
of the NC.
The DNSO is part of ICANN, but financially autonomous.
Ken Stubbs will provide detailed analysis, working with Elisabeth,
Berkman Center, Theresa, Dennis, YJP.
The NC resolved to request every constituency to fund the NC with
US$
5000 with 30 days delay after LA meetings.
One objection that this amount is a lot to the NCDNH.
The very raw estimation for the NC expenses is approx US$300,000.
* Constituencies mailling lists
In the spirit of ICANN process it is requested to all
constituencies to
indicate their mailling lists and make mailing lists archives
public
and readible by all at the earliest possible date.
