may 
request the deferral of a motion to a later dat</span><span

deferral is not specifically provided (for example, certain deferrals are 
foreseen as part of the GNSO PDP, see&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"

 style="BACKGROUND:white;">he SCI discussed this practice and whether there was 
a 
need to create a procedure to formalize this informal practice. After much 
debate, the SCI concluded that the current practice of allowing for the 
deferral 
of motions was done as a matter of courtesy at the discretion of the Chair of 
the GNSO Council. &nbsp;For this reason, the SCI concluded that there was no 
need to create a formal procedure at this time.&nbsp; However, the SCI felt 
that 
it was necessary to explicitly state that there is no rule that the Chair must 
always exercise his or her discretion in the affirmative. Given that the 
current 
informal practice is at the discretion of the Chair, the Chair can exercise 
that 
same discretion in considering whether to grant or deny any request and can 
also 
exercise his or her discretion when determining how to handle any specific 
situation that may occur with regard to this informal 
practice.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></div>

style="BACKGROUND:white;COLOR:black;">The SCI was 
  asked to consider the current GNSO Council informal practice whereby a party 
  may request the deferral of a motion to a later dat</span><span 
style="COLOR:black;">e&nbsp;in those situations where a formal process for a 
  deferral is not specifically provided (for example, certain deferrals are 
  foreseen as part of the GNSO PDP, see&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" 
href="http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-2-pdp-manual-16dec11-en.pdf";>http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-2-pdp-manual-16dec11-en.pdf</a>).&nbsp;T<span
 style="BACKGROUND:white;">he SCI discussed this practice and whether there was 
  a need to create a procedure to formalize this informal practice. After much 
  debate, the SCI concluded that the current practice of allowing for the 
  deferral of motions was done as a matter of courtesy at the discretion of the 
  Chair of the GNSO Council. &nbsp;For this reason, the SCI concluded that 
there 
  was no need to create a formal procedure at this time.&nbsp; However, the SCI 
  felt that it was necessary to explicitly state that there is no rule that the 
  Chair must always exercise his or her discretion in the affirmative. Given 
  that the current informal practice is at the discretion of the Chair, the 
  Chair can exercise that same discretion in considering whether to grant or 
  deny any request and can also exercise his or her discretion when determining 
  how to handle any specific situation that may occur with regard to this 
  informal practice. &nbsp;</span></span></div></div>
