[NCSG-PC] Council attendance

[Johan Helsingius]

Dear PC, and especially councillors,

After the GNSO Extraordinary Council meeting on Wednesday I feel the
need to remind everybody of paragraph 3.3.1, "Participation" of the
NCSG Charter (quoted below).

In case of a Council meeting that takes place after 20:00 UTC, I will
stay online and check messages and email until the meeting starts in
case a proxy is needed, but I will not necessarily be online after the
meeting starts (I might decide watch the recording afterwards instead of
live), but . If you are unable to participate in a meeting, please
notify me as soon as possible, but in any case before the actual meeting
starts.

"3.3.1 Participation.

Each NCSG GNSO Council Representative shall actively and faithfully
participate with the NCSG membership and its committees and
Constituencies in considering policy issues and in advancing the goals
of the NCSG in every aspect of the GNSO Policy Development Process. NCSG
GNSO Council Representatives will be expected to attend all GNSO Council
meetings unless they give prior notice to the NCSG‑PC and GNSO Council.

Regarding provisions made in the GOP for absentee or proxy mechanisms,
the NCSG GNSO Council Representatives will be responsible, where
possible, for notifying the NCSG Chair with sufficient notice to allow
the NCSG-EC, as required by those rules, to take advantage of such
voting remedy provisions as provided by the GOP. The NCSG-EC will be
responsible for making decisions requiring the appointment of any
temporary alternates whether due to absence or abstention, as allowed.
The NCSG-PC will be responsible for making any decisions required on
proxy voting or on directed voting, whether by an elected NCSG GNSO
Council Representative or by an appointed temporary alternate, in the
case of abstentions for conflict of interest. Both the NCSG‑EC and the
NCSG‑PC will be responsible for discussing their decision on the public
list. If time allows this discussion should be prior to the decisions,
but in those cases where it is not possible, this discussion must be
documented as soon after the decision(s) as possible."
