  Dear SCI members, 

  As discussed during the SCI call last week on 17 September, please see below 
the proposed letter from the SCI to the GNSO Council on the issue of the waiver 
of the 10-day motion deadline and resubmission of motions.


  This is a consensus call.  

  Please indicate your agreement with, or objection to, the proposed letter.  
If there are no objections or changes received by COB Tuesday, 29 September 
2015, the letter will be presumed to be accepted by full consensus.

  Kind regards,

  Dear Jonathan,



  On 05 March 2015 the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) 
submitted to the GNSO Council a Review Request (see attached) on the issue of 
whether the waiver of the 10-day deadline for the submission of motions can be 
applied to resubmitted motions.  The Review Request was one of two that the 
Council approved at its meeting on 16 April 2015.  The SCI is continuing to 
discuss the other Review Request from the Council for the SCI to consider 
codifying the current informal procedure for amendments to motions and to 
recommend any changes SCI believes (through full consensus) are appropriate.



  The SCI has determined after a review of the GNSO Operating Procedures that 
by its terms as previously approved by Council, the waiver of the 10-day 
deadline for submission of motions does not apply to resubmitted motions. 
Further, after lengthy discussion of the possible issues, the SCI is reluctant 
to make any recommendations to change the current status of the Operating 
Procedures given that no instance of a problem arising in this regard has 
occurred.  The SCI also notes that although changes to the GNSO Operating 
Procedures are not recommended at this time, the SCI could revisit the issue if 
requested by the Council and, specifically, if there is a contentious issue 
that warrants further analysis.



  Please let us know whether you or the Council have any questions or require 
further information concerning the SCI's response to this issue request.



  Best regards,

  Anne and Rudi
