All,

as I'll arrive in Dakar on Sunday night, 22 Oct, I herewith provide a short update on SCI:

• The Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) did not hold a meeting after the ICANN Singapore meeting and will not convene in Dakar since no issue was raised by the council or any group chartered by the council.
• The SCI likes to remind the GNSO Council and the recognised Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies of the possibility of raising issues for consideration with the SCI. In scope of the SCI tasks are all recommendations implemented from the GNSO improvements work over the last years.
• The SCI plans to ask WGs or other affected parties about their experience with the new WG procedures

Looking forward to see you Sunday morning

Wolf-Ulrich
