I'm not able to review the changes in context right now to know to what extent we may need our SG sign-off, if any. So It would be helpful to have until the end of week to object. Tim Sent from Go Daddy Mobile Mail using my iPad!
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [council] Additions to GNSO Operating Procedures From: "Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@verisign.com> Date: Mon, August 09, 2010 9:16 pm To: <council@gnso.icann.org>
GNSO Councilors: I recently learned that, when Staff was incorporating the relevant sections of the CSG Work Team recommendations (2.1 and 2.2) into the GNSO Operating Procedures (v2.0), an important explanatory note was inadvertently omitted. Appropriately, Staff did not transfer certain non-procedural content, for example, "Background" and "Executive Summary." Unfortunately, there were two sentences that should have been included; however, they were originally located under "Background" and, thus, were not noticed. What I am recommending is that the following paragraph be added immediately below the GOP Chapter 7 heading and before 7.1-Participation Rules. It will be inserted in a shaded box as follows: [Important Note: The recommendations in Chapter 7 apply to both Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups, referred to collectively as "Groups." In addition, with respect to this Chapter's contents, the word "should" shall be interpreted to mean: an obligation or duty to take a certain course of action, unless otherwise specified.] Would anyone object if this addition is made to the version that the Council approved on 5 August 2010? If there are no objections, I will ask Staff to update the version on the GNSO web site (http://gnso.icann.org/council /docs.html); otherwise, we will have to draft a motion and put the matter to a vote at our 26 August meeting. Thank you, Chuck Gomes
