[ga] Election debate - Time Line Guide

[Joanna Lane <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

PROPOSED TIME LINE for "Election Debate"

The following table sets out what is believed to be a reasonable guideline
as to the timing of the various events that need to take place in order to
take a vote of the whole Assembly on one or more issues related to the
Election Debate before ICANN's next Meeting in Bucharest, which commences
June 24th 2002.
What follows are not strict "rules" but rather a rough sketch of the rates
at which Members could expect things to happen. That is, the "duration" is
not carved in stone, but rather what one should normally expect to see, all
other things being equal. Since, in order to complete any Vote of the whole
Assembly within a 27 day time period, more than one process must take place
at once, this table provides deadlines for each of the concurrent
processes.

A General Discussion and investigation of issues commenced on or about Tues
May 28th http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc10/msg01725.html. This process
would normally run its course over a period of 7 days, ending Mon June 3rd.

An informal Onlist Poll may be held at any time to determine interest in
proposals put forward for further action, such as a vote of the whole
assembly on one or more motions.
