[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] AW: Notes from SCI meeting and updated consent agenda language for review

[<KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Marika for this.

1. As you have already established wiki pages for the subteams I'd like to 
encourage all participants to make intensive use of it. It may be helpful to 
have all drafts as Word Docs available for online amendment purposes.

2. Marika, could you please circulate the updated subteam list giving a chance 
to other volunteers for joining?

3. Re Consent Agenda I wonder whether in the penultimate para the last sentence 
could read "Then the chair calls for a vote on each item". (BTW that was my 
misunderstanding that I referred the vote to the consent agenda itself and not 
to the agenda items).



Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich

Betreff: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Notes from SCI meeting and updated consent 
agenda language for review

Dear All,

Please find below the notes of last week's SCI meeting. In addition, please 
find attached an updated version of the proposed consent agenda language in 
which I've aimed to incorporate the different points raised during the meeting. 
Also, dedicated wiki pages have been created for the different sub-teams (see 
https://community.icann.org/x/LIHg). If there are any additional volunteers for 
any of the sub-teams, please let me know. Please note that we still need to 
modify the permissions for the wiki space so that everyone has the appropriate 
editing capabilities (hopefully this will get taken care off in the next couple 
of days).

The next SCI meeting is scheduled for 17 May at 19.00 UTC.

With best regards,

Marika

Proposed Agenda

1. Roll call

2. Statements of Interest

3. Status of work teams on

        - Consent agenda

        - Deferral of motions

        - Threshold rules needed for delaying a PDP

- GNSO Council Voting Results Table

        - Proxy voting procedure

4. WG Survey

5. AOB

Notes

Administrative Items

- Additional participants needed for consent agenda item and voting results 
table (Avri willing to join sub-team if needed. Wolf also willing to move from 
deferral to GNSO Council Voting Results Table)

- Mary volunteered for Proxy Voting Procedures

- Additional item regarding SOI raised by Evan Leibovitch - raises the question 
who may raise issues with the SCI (currently only GNSO Council or WGs can raise 
issues with the SCI according to the Charter)

- Circulate sub-team list to the mailing list to see if there are additional 
volunteers

- Develop wiki pages for sub-teams and consider using google docs to work 
collaboratively on items.

Consent Agenda

- Clarify terminology re. Council leadership / Chair / Vice-Chairs

- Consider excluding PDP related item as well as recommendations to the Board 
from the consent agenda

- What happens to items that are removed from the consent agenda, do they end 
up on the normal agenda or move on to the next meeting? Should it be clarified 
in the proposed draft?

- What is the deadline for making supporting documents availabe in suficient 
time (is that the 8-day deadline)? Consider clarifying that this is the 
timeline that applies or referring to the applicable place in the operating 
procedures that addresses timing.

- What kind of vote is taken? Simple majority? How to deal with items that have 
a different voting threshold associated with it? Doesn't the same voting 
threshold apply as for other items? Consent agenda is intended to expedite 
adminstrative manners, items that need further discussion end up on normal 
agenda. Consider excluding all items that have a voting threshold associated 
with it that is not simple majority (addresses concern over voting thresholds 
as well as items that should not be eligible for consent agenda).

Deferral of motions

- Ron and Angie to take the lead on this item

- Review historic data received from GNSO secretariat

Voting Threshold Rules for Delaying a PDP

- See staff paper on this issue

Proxy Voting Procedure

- See proposal circulated by Wolf

- Put at the top of the agenda for the next meeting

Update of GNSO council Voting Results

- Add 'only for significant cause' to terminating a PDP

- Include reference to Bylaws to clarify meaning of certain voting thresholds

- Share Word version of document with Anne
