RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] FOR DISCUSSION: Re-Submission of a Motion

["Ron Andruff" <randruff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Agree with Avri re 1-2; but would like a clarification as to why this would
need to be on the 'consent' agenda.  Can one of the lawyers in our midst
clarify that for us?

Regarding what James noted as avoiding a 'zombie motion' (as in one that
will never die) I agree that it would make sense to have a limit on how many
times a motion can be resubmitted.  

How many times does the Committee think would be appropriate?

Kind regards,

RA

Hi,

I support 1-3.  As I understand it one would need to meet all 3 conditions,
otherwise there would be no stopping it being on every agenda.

Also I thought some wanted to add a rate throttling mechanism or a maximum
count.

I agree 4 is superfluous since any council member can ask for something to
be taken off the consent agenda, not that i expect a resubmitted motion
would ever make the consent agenda.
