Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Actions/Notes: SCI Meeting 01 November

[<Mary.Wong@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All, I apologize I could not be on the call - I was called into a last
minute emergency meeting at work with no way to notify you all of my
absence.  

I thought I'd also take this opportunity to say that I will be happy to
continue to serve on the SCI as a representative of the NCUC even though
I am no longer on the Council. From feedback received, this is not
viewed as a problem by the NCUC. 

Cheers 
Mary

[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Actions/Notes: SCI Meeting 01 November 

All, 



Here are the actions and notes from today's SCI call.  Our next meeting
will be in two weeks on 15 November 2012.  A meeting notice will ben
sent in advance of the meeting. 



Best regards, 

Julie 



Julie Hedlund, Policy Director 



Actions: 

Julie Hedlund: 1) send around the options on Raising an Issue for a
last call for comments — provide a 1-week response 

James Bladel and Jennifer Standiford:  Review the draft survey and
provide comments by the end of the week. 



Agenda/Notes: 



1. Roll call 



2. Statement of Interests — None 



3. Approval of the agenda -- Approved 



4. Chair and Vice Chair election -- Wolf-Ulrich: Re chair and VC
election I suggest the following process in accordance with what we've
done last time: 

1. Nomination of candidates from the membership 

2. In case of more than 1 nominee for each position election should be
held by balloting. 

Also, we are facing new membership on the SCI because we have new
Council members.  Asked the new NCAs asking about representation. 
Jennifer volunteered.  I am waiting for responses from others.  Also,
asked Mary re: the NSUC on the SCI.  James: Is there a deadline for
selecting the Chair and Vice Chair?  Wolf-Ulrich:   There is nothing in
the charter about new Chairs/Vice Chairs. 



5. Deferral of Motions — updated response circulated by J. Scott — This
item is deferred to the next meeting since there were only 4 SCI members
on the call. 



6. Update on Public Comments on Changes to the PDP Manual for
Suspension of a PDP -- Julie Hedlund: Opened 22 Oct/Close 12 Nov.  If
comments reply period 13 Nov/Close 03 Dec. 



7. Raising an issue — Seems to be support for option nr 1: maintain
status quo — Wolf-Ulrich: Send again to the SCI members as a last call. 
Responses in two weeks. 



8. Status update on Working Group survey -- Wolf-Ulrich: Number 4 and 5
-- question about scaling -- will we have other categories in the scale?
 Julie:  These could be easily standardized.  Wolf-Ulrich — there
shouldn't be too many categories in the scale. Ray — Registry SG thought
the survey was good in general (not a consensus position).  James: 
Jennifer and I can review by the end of the week.  Julie:  Staff can
create a Zoomerang survey as a trial and the ITRP Part C WG could try it
out.  James: Registrars and IRTP Part C group could try the survey and
they could do it in a week.  



9. AOB — None
