Except for fine tuning the process it appears there is no opposition to this motion and I second it to the chair.

In response to the Chair's recommendations, I propose the following motion:-

1. NOMINATION PROCEDURE FOR GA CHAIR

The GA should nominate the candidate for GA Chair as soon as possible.
The GA is already in the process of nomination, using it's own procedures. Motion not needed :)



 
2. NC ELECTION OF GA CHAIR

The NC should give proper consideration to the candidate selected by the GA for GA Chair, then elect the GA Chair as soon as possible thereafter.
I'm sure they will, since the matter has been submitted for intake to the agenda for the February 26 NC teleconference. Motion not needed ;)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



2. BYLAWS - ELECTION OF GA CHAIR

The NC should recommend to the ICANN Board of Directors that the bylaws be amended by replacing "the NC shall elect the Chairman of the GA annually." with "the GA shall elect the Chairman of the GA annually according to the voting procedures adopted by the GA".
Noted and added to the motions we'll begin voting on next week.
