Paul - I now see that your topic which you have added with a note for it to occur BEFORE the discussion of the Motion is your position that the Council should not be considering the Motion.  Please refer to Susan's email of Monday September 29 in which she referred you to the Operating Procedures and various provisions contained in the PDP Manual etc.  your item shows as follows:

"Preliminary discussion, prior to deliberation over any motions submitted, regarding whether or not a vote on the IGO/NGO matter referred to the Council by the Board is appropriate."

If you wish to set forth a position that the Motion should not be considered, please kindly do so after my presentation of five short slides during the period when discussion of the Motion is set to occur. It is improper for you to try to preempt a full discussion on the Motion which has been properly submitted and seconded and is the primary purpose for  this Special Meeting.

Thanks Paul.  What is this item you have added and how much time will it take?  Is that item likely to pre-empt or lessen time for  discussion on the Motion which is the main agenda item for this meeting?

If so, of course I have an issue with that and ask that you reserve your observations for the discussion that will occur AFTER my short  slides are presented.
Thank you,
Anne

Thanks Terri. I added a preliminary discussion item to be taken up prior to any deliberation on Anne’s placeholder motion.

Subject: [council] Reminder: Input welcome on GNSO Council agenda for 2025 meetings

 

Dear councilors,

 

A reminder to all that a Google doc is open for all to add their suggestions and comments to the upcoming GNSO Council meeting agendas. This does not have to be in the form of a full agenda item proposal, simple comments and questions are equally welcome!

 

You are welcome to add to the document via the comments feature.  

 

Thank you!

 

Kind regards,

 

Terri
