RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Actions: SCI Meeting 07 April 2013

[<Mary.Wong@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anne, I don't know if this will help but I got a few "clarifying questions" 
(heheh) from members about how it would work, so I created the following 
explanation. Feel free to use/circulate! 

Alternative #1: Leave the decision whether to accept the re-submission and 
place it on the Council's agenda up to the Chair of the GNSO Council 

OR
 

Alternative #2.  Comply with ALL the following criteria, in the following 
order: 


 

1. Re-submitting Councilor must provide the reasoning to justify the 
resubmission of a motion, no later than the usual deadline for submitting an 
original motion --  8 days prior to  the next GNSO Council meeting. 

2. The text of the re-submitted motion must be published, no later than the 
usual deadline for submitting an original motion --  8 days prior to  the next 
GNSO Council meeting. 

3. The re-submitted motion must have a seconder from each house as a 
prerequisite for placing the procedural question of accepting the re-submission 
on the consent agenda at the next GNSO Council meeting. 

4. Any Councilor can ask for the acceptance of re-submission to be taken off 
the consent agenda -- in which case the question whether or not the 
re-submission should even go through goes automatically to a Council vote on 
whether to accept it. 

NOTE: All this is just to decide if the act of re-submission itself is accepted 
-- the actual substance of the motion does not get discussed, or put to a vote, 
until the re-submission is accepted. 

CONTEXT: At a recent Council meeting, a motion was voted on and defeated 
because two Councilors abstained without realizing that an abstention under the 
GNSO Council rules is automatically deemed to be a No vote. The question then 
became whether the motion could be re-submitted and re-voted on, at which point 
it became clear that the GNSO Council rules and procedures do NOT currently 
have a process in place to deal with the question. The SCI was therefore asked 
to look at the issue and recommend such a process.

Thanks Julie. Is there any way I could get about 40 hard copies of the draft on 
resubmitting a motion to hand out at the IPC meeting Tuesday afternoon? Thank 
you. Anne
