CCOICI - Assignment #6 - SOIGNSO CouncilCCOICI - Task ForceOCT 2023WG guidelines 3.6 Standard Methodology for Making Decisions; Full Consensus only; Council voteFinal report, no consensus at TF, SC and not adopted by GNSO Council; note TF received very little volunteers and no Chairhttps://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020-current#20231025-1
This Task Force will have: ●a maximum of 2 representatives from each Constituency or Stakeholder Group1and up to 2 alternates ●1 Council Committee liaison (ex-officio)
The Task Force should aim to make recommendations by full consensus. However, in those cases where this is not possible, consensus designations must factor in the Council’s make up and voting thresholds. For example, when assessing the level of support, the chair should factor in the support across stakeholder groups instead of counting the number of individuals in support or against. Where full consensus is not achieved, the report/recommendations to the GNSO Committee and/or GNSO Council should clearly outline the efforts that were undertaken to try and achieve full consensus and the reasons for why this was not achieved.
