    *4.0 Voting Procedures*

All NCSG votes will use the weighted voting standards defined in this
section, where a Large Organization Member has a vote equivalent to
twice the vote of a Small Organization Member and a Small Organization
Member has a vote equivalent to twice the vote of an Individual Member.


*4.2 Voting mechanism*

All NCSG votes will be held using an online voting system to be
determined, approved and supervised by the NCSG-EC. Membership
classification for voting will be based on the official membership list,
which must include the category of membership and must be verified
before any vote.

*4.3 Election for NCSG GNSO Council Representatives (size, number, and
distribution of votes):*

In the discussion below, N refers to the number of seats that need to be
elected. Optimally N will equal 3 seats in years with normal rotation.
Any number of reasons can cause this number to vary.

  * NCSG members classified as “individuals” will be given N votes and
    must assign 1 vote to each of N candidates.
  * NCSG members classified as “small organizations” will be given 2N
    votes and must assign exactly 2 votes to each of N candidates.
  * NCSG members classified as “large organizations” will be given 4N
    votes and must assign exactly 4 votes to each of N candidates.

*4.4 Election of NCSG Chair (size and number of votes):*

  * NCSG members classified as “individuals” will be given 1 vote.
  * NCSG members classified as “small organizations” will be given 2 votes.
  * NCSG members classified as “large organizations” will be given 4 votes.
  * Members must cast all their votes for a single candidate.

*4.5 Member Voting Eligibility:*

Any NCSG active Member who has been an active member for at least thirty
(30) days before the date of the election is eligible to nominate
candidates, vote in NCSG elections, and propose amendments to the NCSG
Charter.

*2.2.6. Procedural rules*

The Executive Committee shall create procedural rules for membership and
for existing members to maintain their good standing or for removal of
membership for cause. Any such procedure will be subject to membership
approval. A full and public membership list including the membership
classification, and for Organizational Members the name of the Official
Representative, will be maintained on the NCSG web site. The NCSG Chair
will be responsible for updating and correcting the membership list.
