A general proposal: (: almost includes bracketed language)

1. Nomination by council members, no council member may nominate more
than 1 person.  Nominations can be for anyone, [including, excepting]
previous candidates.

(Note the reason is to allow the NCA to make a nomination if s/he
wishes. Obviously the SG/C can motivate the nominations as they wish.)

2. first round -
-- if someone gets 8, they win
-- otherwise, top 2 go into second round

3. second round -
-- if someone gets 8, they win
-- otherwise, one with most goes into third round with None of the Above
(NOTA)

3. third round -
-- if person gets 8, they win
-- otherwise go back to (1)


BTW, I have included the bylaws and procedures that govern this

by-laws

6. The GNSO shall make selections to fill Seats 13 and 14 on the ICANN
Board by written ballot or by action at a meeting. Each of the two
voting Houses of the GNSO, as described in Section 3(8) of this Article,
shall make a selection to fill one of two ICANN Board seats, as outlined
below; any such selection must have affirmative votes compromising sixty
percent (60%) of all the respective voting House members:

    a. the Contracted Party House shall select a representative to fill
Seat 13; and

    b. the Non-Contracted Party House shall select a representative to
fill Seat 14

Election procedures are defined in the GNSO Operating Procedures.

Notification of the Board seat selections shall be given by the GNSO
Chair in writing to the ICANN Secretary, consistent with Article VI,
Sections 8(4) and 12(1).

gnso operating procedures

2.4.3 Detailed Election Procedures

Each House is responsible for establishing its own internal procedures
for nominations, interviews, voting, and candidate selection; however,
those processes must be documented and forwarded to the GNSO Council for
inclusion as ANNEXES to the GNSO Operating Procedures. If a House
subsequently elects to alter its procedures, such amendments must be
submitted to the GNSO Council before becoming effective so that the
procedures accurately reflect the actual processes and activities
performed by each House in selecting its candidate.

Note: the NCPH has never submitted its procedures to the council.  nor
has the CPH. So the whole thing is just a wee bit a farce.  Perhaps we
should do that. And thus actually have a legitimate process come out of
this.
