Re: [atlarge-discuss] first question to all candidates

Joop, 

The section in the ICANN Bylaws states it rather nicely:

Section 17. QUORUM

At all annual, regular and special meetings of the Board, a majority of the 
total number of Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the 
transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the Directors present 
at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board, 
unless otherwise provided herein or by law. If a quorum shall not be present 
at any meeting of the Board, the Directors present thereat may adjourn the 
meeting from time to time to another place, time or date. If the meeting is 
adjourned for more than twenty-four (24) hours, notice shall be given to 
those Directors not at the meeting at the time of the adjournment.

In my opinion, all votes should be cast during an actual meeting which could 
easily be run on an IRC chanel (if funds are not available for a 
teleconference situation).  Should a panelist not be able to attend such a 
meeting, they can always submit their proxy to another.  Meeting times should 
be rotated so as not to constantly disadvantage the Asia-Pacific region.  
Meetings should be scheduled at regularly set intervals with agendas 
published well in advance of such meetings and an IRC log could readily be 
maintained for the sake of transparency (otherwise, minutes would need to be 
published for the benefit of the broader membership).

my two cents...
