Julie and Mary,
How do we handle?  I think there was a particular template for requests to come 
to SCI which you developed with Avri.  Does that template apply here and how is 
it processed to us?

Implementation

Dear Anne,

Today on the GNSO Council meeting the following item was discussed and voted. 
So, we have a new topic to take care off on our next meetings. This will most 
probably be a lot of work. Perhaps we need to schedule a meeting before mid 
december.
What is your view on this ?

Kind regards,

Rudi Vansnick
Chair Non-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency (NPOC)

Item 5: VOTE ON MOTION – New Referral Request to the Standing Committee for 
GNSO Improvements Implementation (10 minutes)
The GNSO Council identified a number of procedural issues during the most 
recent round of elections for the GNSO Chair. These arise mainly from the fact 
that the GNSO Operating Procedures do not currently contain express provisions 
for an election timetable and a method for prescribing the specific terms to be 
served by the Chair and Vice-Chairs. The Procedures also do not seem to permit 
new incoming Council members to stand for the Chair position. Here the Council 
will discuss and vote on whether to refer these matters to the GNSO’s Standing 
Committee for GNSO Improvements Implementation (SCI), and the scope of such a 
referral request<http://tinyurl.com/peqmrqd>.

2. Updated Draft GNSO Council Resolution for the Council meeting on 19 November 
2015 – Referral Request to the SCI

Made by: Wolf-Ulrich Knoben
Seconded by: Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez
Whereas

  1.  The GNSO Operating Procedures in Chapter 2.2 describe the process of 
elections of the GNSO Chair and the GNSO Vice-Chairs 
(http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-24jun15-en.pdf);
  2.  Following the result of the initial election round at ICANN54 in Dublin, 
the GNSO Council agreed on a time table for the next round for the election of 
the GNSO Chair 2015-2016 
(http://gnso.icann.org/en/elections/proposed-council-chair-03sep15-en.pdf);
  3.  During the ICANN 54 meeting in Dublin questions were raised with regards 
to the election process for the GNSO Chair and Vice-Chairs, including the 
candidate nomination process with particular reference to the preparedness of 
newly-elected Council members to vote, the eligibility of newly elected 
Councilors to run for the GNSO Chair position, the need for the GNSO Council to 
specifically determine the term of the Chair and Vice-Chairs in accordance with 
the ICANN Bylaws, and to the overall timing of the Chair election.
Resolved
The GNSO Council requests the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation 
(SCI)

  *   To review Sections 2.2(b), (f) and (g) of the GNSO Operating Procedures 
with respect to clarifying: (i) the eligibility of incoming Council members to 
run for the position of GNSO Chair; (ii) the start and end dates and the 
duration of the Chair and Vice-Chair terms in accordance with the ICANN Bylaws; 
and (iii) the timing of publication of the election results; and
  *   To recommend a general time table for election of the GNSO Council Chair 
to be approved by the GNSO Council and added to the GNSO Operating Procedures.
