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.
RECOMMENDATION: To use the same procedures adopted by WG-Review for
election of its Co-Chair as follows. The names of all current GA Members
(approximately 271) will be put up in the polling booth for voting by GA
Members. There is no limit to the number of candidates each member may
vote for, but only members who receive 5 or more votes will go through
to a second round. The second round will determine the selection of candidate
by the Preferential Voting System as detailed by David Farrar in the Archive
at http://www.dnso.org/wgroups/wg-review/Arc02/msg00725.html
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have omitted the last recommendation, Bylaws - GA Representation on
the NC because we have not yet reviewed the NC in detail.
