[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] SCI Charter Approved by GNSO Council

[Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear SCI Members,

At its meeting today, 31 October 2013, the GNSO Council approved the
attached charter of the SCI via Motion 3 listed here:
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+31+October+2
013. The approved charter has been posted to the SCI wiki at:
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/3.+Charter.

Please note that the GNSO Council decided not to alter the decision-making
process at this time, but reserved the possibility of revisiting the
discussion on this issue at another time.  Thus, the decision-making process
of the SCI will continue as it appeared in the original charter: "Unless
otherwise determined by the SCI members, committee decisions will be made by
³full consensus² process as described in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines
(see section 3.6)."  A note has been included in the charter that this
process is subject to Council consideration.

As there were no volunteers for the position of liaison from the SCI to the
Council, the GNSO Council decided to wait to appoint a liaison until after
the new Council is seated in Buenos Aires.  However, Wolf-Ulrich Knoben
suggested Mikey O'Conner as a possible liaison.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  I will send the link to the
transcript of the GNSO Council meeting as soon as it is available.

Best regards,

Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
