Hello everyone, Following up on Avri¹s request that the Council consider a waiver of the 10-day deadline for submission of a motion to be voted on by the Council, here is the requisite procedure from Section 3.3.2 of the GNSO Operating Procedures: If a motion is submitted after the Submission Deadline, the GNSO Council shall consider the motion if the following requirements are met: a. The motion (including any report or other supporting documentation) is submitted to the GNSO Council at least 24 hours in advance of the GNSO Council meeting; b. The motion is accompanied by a request to consider the motion despite submission after the Submission Deadline (a ³Request for Consideration²); c. A vote on the Request for Consideration shall be called as the first order of business for the agenda item that deals with the motion. The vote on the Request for Consideration must be unanimous (i.e., all Councilors or their proxies must vote and all votes cast must be in favor of considering the motion at such GNSO Council meeting) for the motion to be considered at such GNSO Council meeting. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4889 Email: mary.wong@icann.org -----Original Message----- From: <owner-council@gnso.icann.org> on behalf of Avri Doria <avri@acm.org> Organization: Technicalities Reply-To: Avri Doria <avri@acm.org> Date: Monday, October 19, 2015 at 00:08 To: "<council@gnso.icann.org>" <council@gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] possible motion - would need to request 10 day waiver.
To my fellow council members,
I would like to offer one last motion before I end my tenure on the GNSO council.
I know I have missed the motion deadline and therefore request consideration for waiver of the 10 day rule for motions, noting that this request is submitted at least 24 hours before the meeting scheduled for 21 October 2015.
I also note that I am available to consider any friendly amendments that might be required for acceptance of the resolution that might come based on Stakeholder Group and Constituency consideration of this motion.
