[gnso-osc] FW: GNSO Operating Procedures Final Drafts

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Attention OSC members,
 
Quick review and comments are needed on the attached documents from the
GNSO Council Operations WT (GCOT), chaired by Ray Fassett with Staff
support from Julie Hedland.  As you will recall, GCOT was assigned the
task of making recommendations for revision of those portions of the
GNSO Council Rules of Procedure necessary to seat the new bicameral
Council in Seoul.  In order to get Council review and approval in time
to then get Board approval of the revised rules before Seoul, they need
to be sent to the Council NLT this coming Thursday, 17 September.  To
allow a day for any final edits, we need any comments or edits you may
have by COB on Tuesday, 15 September.  Sorry for the short turn-around.
 
Here are some important points of information:

*       
        Clean and redlined versions are attached; the redlined version
highlights the latest changes made that have not yet been reviewed by
the full GCOT; they will be reviewing these concurrently with the OSC
review.
*       
        The proposed operating procedures only contain a subset of what
will eventually be a more complete set of procedures; the GCOT will
continue to work on other elements of the procedures and those will be
considered later in the year; this version contains just those elements
that are considered essential for seating the Council in Seoul.
*       
        Please feel free to suggest edits; Ray and Julie will
incorporate as many edits as appropriate to create a document for the
Council; so as not to undermine the extensive work of the GCOT, in cases
where material content changes are suggested, it is my suggestion that
substantial edits that involve changes to any of the GCOT
recommendations be included in the comment summary for Council
consideration rather than changing the GCOT recommended procedures at
this time.  The Council could of course to include them in the final
document sent to the Board.
*       
        We won't have time for a formal approval by the OSC so my plan
is to forward the document to the Council with a brief summary of OSC
comments.
*       
        Once the Council receives the recommended procedures document,
Councilors will be asked to immediately forward the document to their
respective groups for quick review and to be prepared to vote on final
approval in the Council meeting on 24 September and the final document
will then be sent to the Board in advance of their 30 September meeting.
*       
        The last step in the process will be approval of the procedures
by the new Council in the public meeting in Seoul on 28 October.

 
Thanks in advance for your cooperation on this.  If you have any
questions, please let me know.  Also, if you have any questions for the
GCOT, I cc'd Ray and I am sure he would be happy to respond.
 
Chuck

Work Team members, please see 2 final drafts attached of the RoP per
Julie's preface below.  There have been some further edits this
afternoon so please take a look and let me know if any questions.

 

Chuck, please use these versions to share with OSC members at this time.
Any further comment from GCOT work team members or OSC members are to be
submitted by end of business day next Tuesday.  On Wednesday, our
expectation is for the 2 final draft versions to be sent the GNSO
Council for its review.

 

Thanks for the effort on this everyone.

 

Ray
