Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] REMINDER: Consensus Call: Current Practice in Relation to Motions

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

I’m ok with it – although my folks have already agreed (better: not objected).

Best regards

Wolf-Ulrich

Dear Rudi,

I replied to Amr just now without first seeing your message.  There is no rule 
of which I am aware that would prevent an extension, but the customary time 
period is two weeks.  I had separately suggested that perhaps we could discuss 
Amr’s request on our call today and if there are no objections then we could 
grant the extension.

Kind regards,
Julie

Dear Amr, 

I prefer asking Julie if it is appropriate to extend the deadline for the 
consensus till the 25th. Personally I see no objection, it just covers the 
weekend extra.

Julie, can we extend this call ?

Regards,

Rudi Vansnick

  Hi,

  I know that this request is a pain, but I was hoping we could have the 
deadline for this extended…, perhaps until Monday, April 25th.

  If folks don’t agree to this, no hard feelings. I won’t hold it against 
anyone. :)

  Thanks.

  Amr

    Dear SCI members,

    This is a reminder — deadline is 21 April.

    As agreed on the SCI call on 07 April, the attached document, CONSENSUS 
CALL-GNSO Operating Procedures Proposed Revision Relating to Motions & 
Amendments 07 April 2016, is being circulated for a formal Consensus Call.  The 
document is the proposed revision to the GNSO Operating Procedures to include 
the new text on submitting, seconding, and amending motions.

    Background:
    • On 05 March 2015 the SCI submitted to the GNSO Council a Review Request 
(see attached) concerning the fact that there are currently no formal 
procedures on (i) whether, how and by whom a properly submitted motion is to be 
seconded, and (ii) treatment of proposed amendments to such motions as either 
“friendly” or “unfriendly”.    The Review Request was one of two that the 
Council approved at its meeting on 16 April 2015. In the attached Review 
Request the GNSO Council asked that the SCI codify the existing customary 
practices of the GNSO Council and consider new processes to govern the 
seconding of motions and amendments to motions.  
    • On 09 October 2015 the SCI agreed on a documentation of the Current 
Practice Relating to Motions and sent a letter (attached) along with the 
original Review Request and the documentation to Jonathan Robinson, GNSO 
Council Chair.  
    • In December 2015 the SCI established a Sub Team A — Sara Bockey, Angie 
Graves, Wolf-Ulrich Knoben, and Lawrence Olawale-Roberts, and Rudi Vansnick — 
to review the current practice and the Sub Team submitted its recommendations 
to the SCI on 02 March 2016.  The SCI discussed the recommendations in 
Marrakech on 05 March and asked staff to draft revisions to the GNSO Operating 
Procedures per the recommendations.  
    • On 07 April the SCI discussed the draft revisions and asked staff to 
submit them to the SCI for a Consensus Call.
    If there are no objections or changes received in two weeks by Thursday 21 
April, the language will be presumed to be accepted by Full Consensus.

    Best regards,

    Julie
