[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Last Call: Raising an Issue

[Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear SCI members,

On today's call it was agreed that there should be a "last call" for the review 
of the options on raising an issue.  Based on the discussion in Toronto and in 
today's meeting it appears that there is consensus around option number 1 — 
maintaining the status quo.  See the details below and on the wiki at: 
http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-improvem-impl-sc/msg00390.html.

Please respond by **Friday, 09 November COB** as to whether you favor option 1 
or another option.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

________________________________
Dear All,  In relation to the agenda item 'Raising an issue - Has this been 
sufficiently  clarified', three possible approaches were identified during the 
last meeting:   1.  Maintain status quo - which means only the GNSO Council or 
a group  chartered by the GNSO Council can request an item to be reviewed by 
the SCI.  Possibly consider communicating to other SO/ACs / individuals, that 
if there  are issues they would like to see reviewed by the SCI, that they will 
need to  channel these via the GNSO Council and/or a group chartered by the 
GNSO Council.  2.  Add the possibility for other ICANN SO/ACs to make a direct 
request to the  SCI – this would require a change to the SCI Charter and would 
need GNSO  Council approval.  3.  Add the possibility for any chartered group 
to make a direct request to  the SCI – this would require a change to the SCI 
Charter and would need GNSO  Council approval. Some also noted that a 
definition of 'chartered' would be  needed as it is not clear whether SO/ACs 
are chartered.  Members are encouraged to share their views on these three 
options and/or  identify any other options that should be considered to address 
thisissue  ahead of the next meeting.  With best regards,  Marika
