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

["Aikman-Scalese, Anne" <AAikman@xxxxxxxxx>]

You would have to account for changed circumstances that could occur, e.g. 
between ICANN meetings or about every quarter.  For example, there could be a 
deadlock and a suspension of a Working Group that might result in the need to 
introduce the same motion.
