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

[<Mary.Wong@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Avri.  

I also support the Registrars' proposal to add some kind of mechanism to 
prevent "zombie" motions. 

Cheers

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


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.
