Detailed Information
Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose:

The GNSO Council has determined that the language concerning the deadline for 
the submission of reports and motions in the current GNSO Operating Procedures 
lacks clarity. The GNSO Council thus proposes a modification of the GNSO 
Operating Procedures to make the deadline for the submission of reports and 
motions more precise and uniform. The proposed modification to the existing 
language in section 3.3 of the Procedures is as follows, with additions in bold 
and deletions stricken:

Reports and motions should be submitted to the GNSO Council for inclusion on 
the agenda as soon as possible, but no later than  23:59 Coordinated Universal 
Time (UTC) 10 calendar days before the GNSO Council meeting.

As required by the ICANN Bylaws, the GNSO Council is requesting community input 
on this proposed modification to the GNSO Operating Procedures.
Section II: Background:

The GNSO, its description, purpose(s), structures (e.g. Council, Stakeholder 
Groups), and governance mandate are covered in ICANN Bylaws, Article 
X<http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#X>, Sections 1-6. The Operating 
Procedures of the GNSO describes those supplementary elements of 
administration, governance, and other logistics/mechanics that are not already 
prescribed in the aforementioned ICANN Bylaws. Taken together, the ICANN Bylaws 
and the GNSO Operating Procedures are intended to provide a complete set of 
rules, procedures, and practices for governing the operations of the GNSO. The 
ICANN Bylaws require that any changes to the GNSO Operating Procedures are 
subject to a minimum 21 day public comment period ('The GNSO Operating 
Procedures shall be effective upon the expiration of a twenty-one (21) day 
public comment period, and shall be subject to Board oversight and review' - 
see article X, section 3, item 4, 
http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#X).
