<br>
As GNSO Chair election comes near, you might wish to review<br>
the Vice Chair election procedure we agreed with CSG on last year.<br>
For reference, I'll attach it below (can't seem to find it<br>
online anywhere).<br>
<br>

<br>
NON-CONTRACTED PARTIES HOUSE PROCESS FOR SELECTING GNSO COUNCIL VICE<br>
CHAIR<br>
<br>
(Effective November 7, 2016)<br>
<br>
Vice Chairs wouldwill serve one-year terms.<br>
<br>
The first-term Vice Chair wouldwill presumptively serve a second<br>
one-year term, but wouldwill be subject to review and consent by the<br>
other Stakeholder Group (SG) after the first term.<br>
<br>
Review and consent by the other SG after the first term could result in<br>
a rejection of the sitting Vice Chair, but there would need to be<br>
extraordinary reasons for this rejection.<br>
<br>
If a Vice Chair does not serve a second term (whether by rejection or<br>
for any other reason), that Vice Chair's SG wouldwill nominate a<br>
candidate for the upcoming term, but that Vice Chair wouldwill<br>
presumptively serve only one one-year term. The new candidate wouldwill<br>
be subject to review and approval by the other SG.<br>
<br>
After two years with one SG, the Vice Chair-ship wouldwill be offered as<br>
a first nomination to the "“non-incumbent"” SG.<br>
<br>
The "“non-incumbent"” SG wouldwill nominate a candidate for review<br>
and approval by the first SG, through a "“listening tour"” process.<br>
<br>
While there wouldwill be a presumption in favor of the candidate of the<br>
"“non-incumbent"” SG, both SGs have to approve the candidate.<br>
<br>
If approval is not achieved, the "“non-incumbent"” SG wouldwill<br>
nominate another candidate, up to two additional times if necessary.<br>
<br>
If approval is not achieved even after two re-nominations, the NCA<br>
shallNominating Committee Appointed Councilor (NCA) assigned to the<br>
Non-Contracted Parties House (NCPH) will attempt to mediate and find a<br>
compromise candidate that both SGs would find acceptable.<br>
<br>
In case If a member of either SG member becomes the Chair of the GNSO,<br>
the other SG would get towill select the Vice Chair. It through the<br>
process set forth above. This would not affect the rotation after the<br>
Chair passes on to the CPHContracted Parties House again,; the<br>
presumptive Vice Chair turn wouldwill go to whichever SG didwas due to<br>
hold the seat next according to the process set forth above, as if the<br>
NCPH member had not hold Viceserved as Chair before. .<br>
<br>
If the SGs agree to nominate the NCA as Vice Chair, the presumptive<br>
rotation would continue after her or histhe NCA’s term as if it hadn't<br>
happened.he or she had not served as Vice-Chair.<br>
<br>
If no agreement is reached in time for a councilCouncil meeting, there<br>
will be no NCPH Vice Chair infor that meeting.<br>
<br>
<br>
Vice Chairs would serve one-year terms.<br>
<br>
The first-term Vice Chair would presumptively serve a second one-year<br>
term, but would be subject to review and consent by the other SG after<br>
the first term.<br>
<br>
Review and consent by the other SG after the first term could result in<br>
a rejection of the sitting Vice Chair, but there would need to be<br>
extraordinary reasons for this rejection.<br>
<br>
If a Vice Chair does not serve a second term (whether by rejection or<br>
for any other reason), that Vice Chair's SG would nominate a candidate<br>
for the upcoming term, but that Vice Chair would presumptively serve<br>
only one one-year term. The new candidate would be subject to review and<br>
approval by the other SG.<br>
<br>
After two years with one SG, the Vice Chair-ship would be offered as a<br>
first nomination to the "non-incumbent" SG.<br>
<br>
The "non-incumbent" SG would nominate a candidate for review and<br>
approval by the first SG, through a "listening tour" process.<br>
<br>
While there would be a presumption in favor of the candidate of the<br>
"non-incumbent" SG, both SGs have to approve the candidate.<br>
<br>

another candidate, up to two additional times if necessary.<br>
<br>
If approval is not achieved even after two re-nominations, the NCA shall<br>
attempt to mediate and find a compromise candidate that both SGs would<br>
find acceptable.<br>
<br>
In case either SG member becomes the Chair of GNSO, the other SG would<br>
get to select Vice Chair. It would not affect rotation after the Chair<br>
passes on to the CPH again, presumptive Vice Chair turn would go to<br>
whichever SG did not hold Vice Chair before.<br>
<br>

no NCPH Vice Chair in that meeting.<br>
