Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Updated drafts of Motion Deadline Waiver & E-Voting proposals for discussion in London
Dear all, Please find attached a further updated version of the Waiver of the 10-day Motion Deadline language incorporating Anne¹s suggestion - note that this version therefore REPLACES the version I sent out earlier today dated 12 June 2014. The proposal regarding Remote/Electronic Voting remains unchanged and thus the latest version of that is the one dated 12 June.
