Resolution #1

Whereas:

The existence of nine publicly elected At-Large Board Members in the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a fundamental element of ICANN's structural balance, and a valuable avenue for input from a wide range of stakeholders in ICANN's decisions; and

Various proposals being considered by the ICANN At-Large Study Committee may alter or even eliminate the guarantee of nine At-Large Directors and ICANN public elections,

Resolved,

ICANN should [set aside at least 9 publicly elected At-Large seats on its 19-member Board of Directors] ensure that at least 50% of its Board seats are publicly elected At-Large Board Members, non-ex-officio.

Vote result during the meeting:

• For: 22
• Against: 1
