Thanks for bringing these Consensus Calls to the list, Mary.

 

This is a reminder to all members that with the first week of this behind

Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Consensus Call: SCI Proposals on Waiver &
Voting Outside a Council Meeting

 

Dear SCI members,

 

As agreed on the last SCI call, the following documents are being circulated
for a formal Consensus Call: (1) the SCI's proposal to add language to the
existing Section 3.3 of the GNSO Operating Procedures regarding waiver of
the 10-day motion deadline rule; and (2) the SCI's proposal for a new
Section 4.10 to be added to the GNSO Operating Procedures, to deal with
voting outside a GNSO Council meeting. 

 

Please note that per the SCI Charter, "Unless otherwise determined by the
SCI members, committee decisions will be made by "full consensus" process as
described in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines (see section 3.6)."  As such,
please review the attached documents with your Stakeholder Group or
Constituency (as applicable) if you have not already done so.  If the
language is approved the next step will be for staff to prepare a redlined
version of the GNSO Council Operating Procedures that will be put out for
public comment; following which the SCI will review any relevant public
comments received. The final step will be submission of the finalized
language and proposals to the GNSO Council for its review and adoption.

 

If there are no objections or changes received by Friday 5 September 2014,
the language will be presumed to be accepted by full consensus.

 

For the attached documents, please note the following minor changes that
were made after the last SCI call on 5 August:

*       The format and introductory paragraph to the proposal for the Waiver
of the 10-day Motion Rule was amended to conform with the format approved by
the SCI for Voting Outside a Council Meeting.
*       The proposed Section number for Voting Outside a Council Meeting was
changed to Section 4.10 as there already is a Section 4.5 in the current
GNSO Operating Procedures. By numbering this proposal Section 4.10, it will
(if adopted) be added to the GNSO Operating Procedures to follow the last
current section in the Voting chapter (Section 4.9, regarding a Consent
Agenda), without the need to renumber any of the existing Sections in this
chapter.

Best regards,

 

Mary
