ICANNATLARGE.COM Election Charter

• Election Charter for Interim Panel

  http://www.dnso.org/icannatlarge/2002.ICANNATLARGE-Election-charter.html

• Voting Rules used to elect the 7-members Interim Panel

  The seven candidates who receive the highest number of votes will be elected, provided that they have received at least 15 votes; if there are not seven candidates above this threshold, the number of members of the panel will be reduced accordingly.

  Ties (if any) will be solved by ordering names by the number of candidates of the same ICANN Region (as amended per ALSC proposal) that received more votes than the tied ones (the lowest first, so to help diversity among regions), then the same by country.
