Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Adopted SCI Review Requests from GNSO Council Meeting 16 April

["WUKnoben" <wolf-ulrich.knoben@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree, and would like to thank Lori for her willingness to continue with this 
office.
In addition I’d like to mention the (unwritten) habit to split chair and 
vicechair offices between different SGs. This is helpful for balancing.

Re Anne’s proposal for an SCI call I’m fine with April 28, but before 19:00 UTC.

Best regards

Wolf-Ulrich

Dear Anne,

Per item 1 below, I have sent a request to the list and also a reminder to have 
members confirm their Primary and Alternate representatives from each group as 
you had suggested.  I am still awaiting some responses.  Also, as Lori is now 
the Alternate member from the IPC she would not be eligible to serve as Vice 
Chair as only Primary representatives can serve as Chair or Vice Chair.  So, 
once we confirm Primary and Alternate members the next step would be to ask for 
volunteers for the position of Vice Chair and, if there are multiple 
volunteers, to proceed to an election per the Charter.

Best regards,
Julie

  Dear SCI Members and Staff,

   

  Many thanks to Avri and staff for obtaining our work orders from the Council. 
 Moving forward, we need to:

   

  <!--[if !supportLists]-->1.       <!--[endif]-->Address the Office of Vice 
Chair.  (Lori held this post but has moved to the IPC so it may not be 
appropriate for her to continue in that office given that it would result in 
two officers from the same constituency.) 

  <!--[if !supportLists]-->2.       <!--[endif]-->Set a schedule for our 
meetings to address the two assigned work items and to determine priorities and 
timelines, e.g. address both items at once with subteams or address one item at 
a time with the whole group?

  <!--[if !supportLists]-->3.       <!--[endif]-->Discuss the “periodic review” 
aspect of SCI responsibilities and whether or not we need to be doing any work 
in this regard at this time.

   

  I am thinking it might be best to have a short call with members to address 
these procedural matters before beginning our work on the two assignments from 
Council.  

   

  If we stick with the same day and time as in the past, could we do Tuesday, 
April 28 or Tuesday, May 12?  (I am not available Tuesday May 5 due to the 
International Trademark Association Meeting.)  

   

  Will members please reply with any thoughts you have regarding the above, 
including call dates?

   

  Thank you,

  Anne

  Hi,

  Thanks for reporting on this and for all your help in getting these written 
and submitted.

  So now there are two work items.

    Dear SCI members,

     

    As Avri Doria has previously reported, she submitted to the GNSO Council in 
March two SCI review requests (attached).  These were discussed during the 
Council meeting on 19 March, but action on them was deferred to the GNSO 
Council meeting on 16 April.   For reference, here is the link to the 
transcript from the 19 March meeting: 
http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/transcript-council-19mar15-en.pdf. 

     

    The two requests were placed on the Consent Agenda for today's GNSO Council 
meeting as follows: (See the agenda at 
http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/agenda-council-16apr15-en.htm.)

    "Item 3: Consent agenda (5 mins): 3.1 – Approval to refer two matters 
(first submitted to the Council on 5 March 2015) to the GNSO's Standing 
Committee for Improvements Implementation (SCI). The first concerning GNSO 
Council practices for proposing, seconding and amendment of motions and the 
second on clarifying the Operating Procedures regarding the waiver and 
resubmission of motions."
    As there were no requests to have these items removed from the consent 
agenda, the items proceeded to a vote and were adopted.  See the resolutions 
at: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions. If you wish to review the 
transcript of today's Council meeting it will be posted at: 
http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/calendar#apr.  The MP3 is available 
at: http://audio.icann.org/gnso/gnso-council-16apr15-en.mp3. For reference 
concerning the Consent Agenda procedures, the relevant section from the GNSO 
Operating Procedures is included below.  

    Best regards,

    Julie

    Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

    --------Excerpt from the GNSO Council Operating Procedures----------

    4.9    Consent Agenda 
    When preparing the meeting agenda, the Council Chair in consultation with 
the Council Vice-Chairs determines whether an item belongs on the consent 
agenda. All items that are subject to a different voting threshold than a 
simple majority vote (see ICANN Bylaws, Article X, section 3-9) or are subject 
to absentee voting (see section 4.4 – Absentee Voting) are not eligible for 
inclusion in the consent agenda. A numbered list of consent items is included 
as part of the meeting agenda. The list and supporting documents are included 
in the Council agenda in sufficient time to be read by all Council members 
prior to the meeting in accordance with section 3.3 – Notice of Meetings of 
these Operating Procedures.

     

    At the beginning of the meeting, the Chair asks members what items they 
wish to have removed from the consent agenda and discussed individually. If any 
Council member requests that an item be removed from the consent agenda, it 
must be removed. Council members may request that an item be removed for any 
reason. They may wish, for example, to discuss the item, to query the item, or 
to register a vote against the item. If an item is removed from the consent 
agenda, it is added to the meeting agenda for that meeting, unless the Council 
Chair in consultation with the Council Vice-Chairs determines differently.

     

    When there are no more items to be removed, the Chair reads out the number 
of the remaining consent items. Then the Chair calls for a vote. 

     

    When preparing the minutes, the full text of (or links to) the resolutions, 
reports or recommendations that were adopted as part of the consent agenda are 
included. In addition the minutes should include a statement regarding the 
composition/threshold that approved the consent agenda.
