I nominate Zahid Jamil, and he has agreed
to the role if elected. He has great experience and background that would
benefit this WG. Thanks, Mike R. From:
owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gomes, Chuck Regarding Council
election of two GNSO representatives to the Community-Wide WG on
Geographical Regions, please note that the nomination period ends this coming
Friday, 28 November. So far we have two nominations: Olga Cavalli and
Eric Brunner-Williams. Please send any additional nominations by Friday,
including self-nominations. The plan is to initiate the voting process as
soon as the nomination period ends. In
that regard, if there are only two nominees, does anyone object to simply
approving the two nominees as our representatives without a formal vote after
their personal statements are distributed? If anyone objects, we will
have a formal, online vote. Please communicate any objection NLT this coming
Friday, 28 November. Otherwise, we will assume that a formal vote is not
needed. To
prepare for the possibility of a formal, online election, if it is
needed, here are the procedures I propose: 1.
The list of nominated candidates will be provided with the statements
provided from the candidates. 2. The
ballot will list all the candidates names plus a choice of 'None of
the Above'. 3.
Councilors may vote no more than once each for up to two candidates or for
None of the Above. 4.
Weighted voting will apply. 5.
The election period will end on Thursday, 4 December, thereby allowing us to
communicate our representatives to the Board one week prior to their meeting on
11 December. Note
that the above allows Councilors to vote for two candidates, for one
candidate or no candidates. If only one candidate is selected by a
Councilor, that selection will only count as one vote (weighted if applicable)
for that candidate; it would not be allowed to apply two votes to one
candidate. If
anyone objects to this procedure or wants to suggest a modification, please
communicate that NLT this coming Friday, 28 November. In
either of the above scenarios, we will confirm the election of the representatives
in our 18 December meeting so that it is on the record. Thanks
for your cooperation, Chuck
Gomes Note:
Avri, Glen and I developed the above via lots of emails and I agreed to
take the lead because Avri is traveling. |
