Jonathan, Our recent experience suggests that #1 is the better option. As a resident of PST, it would make my life easier, but I see the global value of UCT. Berard --------- Original Message ---------Subject: RE: [council] Changes to GNSO Operating Procedures From: "Jonathan Robinson" <jrobinson@afilias.info> Date: 4/29/13 6:31 am To: "'Zahid Jamil'" <zahid@dndrc.com>, "'Volker Greimann'" <vgreimann@key-Systems.net> Cc: "'Wendy Seltzer'" <wendy@seltzer.com>, "'Marika Konings'" <marika.konings@icann.org>, council@gnso.icann.org All, I'd like to close this off and move to posting it for public comment. My understanding is that we are agreed on 10 calendar days as this is global and meets what was originally intended. As far as a time-zone is concerned, we have two options: 1. Choose a fixed time zone in which the 23h59 cut-off occurs. There is no universally fair time zone to use for a global audience but UTC seems as close to a standard as we have. PST provides for a later sunset but is arguably less of a standard than UTC. OR 2. Agree that the cut-off is 10 calendar days (exactly) before the meeting occurs. This will mean that the time of the cut-off varies on a per meeting basis. This is probably most fair but could lead to confusion since it varies on a per meeting basis. Still, as long as the cut-off time is sent as part of the reminder in calling for motions, it seems reasonable. Any comments or inputs, please provide them ASAP before we move to public comment.

While I support this in general, I am not sure we really need such a policy. The proposed language cuts the time available for bringing motions short for our American councillors compared to right now.

I support Wendy's language.

All,
I am in support of Wendy's wording (with a minor tweak) as follows:
Reports and motions should be submitted to the GNSO Council for inclusion on the agenda as soon as possible, but no later than 23:59 UTC on the day, 8 calendar days before the GNSO Council meeting.
Any concerns or objections, please raise ASAP otherwise I suggest we post for public comment.
