Action Items: 1. GNSO Council Rules of Procedure: Julie Hedlund will distribute to the Work Team for consideration an amended and redlined version of the Rules of Procedure indicating the changes agreed to at the meeting on sections 3.5 Quorum and 3.6 Votes and highlighting the next possible priority sections for discussion (Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, Section 4, and Section 5) (See attached document, also posted to the Wiki.) 2. Proposed GNSO Structure: Ron Andruff will revise the document based on the recommendations received from the OSC at the Sydney meeting and circulate the revised version to the Work Team. 3. SOI/DOI Document: ICANN Legal Staff are reviewing the document and will provide comments to the Work Team. Summary of Main Points: 1. GNSO Council Rules of Procedure: --Section 3.5 Quorum: Agreed to new draft language, as follows: "In order for the GNSO Council to initiate a meeting a quorum must be present. A quorum is a majority of voting members, which includes at least one member of each stakeholder group. At the time of a vote there must be a quorum." --Section 3.6 Votes: Chuck Gomes noted that under the changes considered for the Bylaws all votes are taken in both Houses and the criteria for passing is defined in each House. Julie agreed to amend the language based on changes proposed to the Bylaws by the GNSO Council. 2. Proposed GNSO Structure -- Meeting with OSC Members --The OSC members recommended several changes to further clarify certain points in the document, including changing references from Constituencies to Stakeholder Groups to reflect the new bicameral structure and to make it clear that the split in duties between policy and admin refers to the GNSO as a whole, and not to a split of the GNSO Council. Ron Andruff agreed to make the changes and to send the revised version to the Work Team. In general, the OSC members present agreed that with these changes the Work Team should circulate the document to the Constituencies for consideration. 3. SOI/DOI document -- Meeting with OSC Members --Some OSC members suggested the approach was too complex, but agreed that providing an SOI needs to be timely and that this should be the focus of the document. Ray Fassett explained that the IS Legal staff also were reviewing the document and that the next step would be for the Work Team to consider their recommendations. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund Policy Consultant Attachment:
