Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] REMINDER Re: Action item from SCI Meeting 06 March -- Re-Submitting a Motion

["James M. Bladel" <jbladel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello SCI Team:

Last week, Jennifer and I were able to consult with the Registrar Stakeholder 
Group (RrSG) on this issue.  We can report that RrSG members strongly favor 
Option #2.

Additionally, Registrars agree with the proposed criteria listed, -except- for 
item #2.4, which they note could be redundant if Items #2.1-#2.3 are followed.  
Finally, RrSG members would like to see the inclusion of some limitations (per 
year or minimum time frame) on how frequently a motion may be re-introduced.

We look forward to further discussions on our next call.

Thanks--

J.

March -- Re-Submitting a Motion

Dear SCI members,

This is a reminder of the action item on re-submitting a motion.  The action 
item is as follows:

-- Re-Submitting a Motion -- SCI members: Circulate the options to their 
Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies.

It is our understanding that we still need to hear from the Intellectual 
Property Constituency and the Registrar Stakeholder Group.  All of the other 
representatives on the SCI support option 2 below with all the criteria.

Best regards,
Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

Possible Options for Addressing the Re-Submission of a Motion:

1.  Leave up to discretion of the Chair

2.  Set one or more high-level criteria (in this order):

1)  Provide a reasoning to justify the resubmission of a motion. Complete no 
later than the deadline for submitting a motion --  8 days prior to  the next 
GNSO Council meeting.
2)  Publish the text of the re-submitted motion. Complete no later than the 
deadline for submitting a motion --  8 days prior to  the next GNSO Council 
meeting.
3)  Require a seconder of the motion from each house as a prerequisite for 
placing the re-submission of the motion on the consent agenda.
4)  Allow a councilor to ask for the re-submission of the motion to be taken 
off the consent agenda and to request a Council vote on whether to accept the 
re-submission.
