Hi again,

Yes, the link seems to be working on my end now too. Not sure why it didn’t earlier.

I’m attaching alternative language to the friendly amendment I proposed (thanks to Mary for helping with it). Sort of a friendly amendment to the friendly amendment, I guess. I hope Avri and Gabi find it to be agreeable.

Thanks.

Amr

Hi,

Two things:

1. The link to the language the SCI proposed on waiver of the 10-day rule for 
submission of motions doesn’t seem to be working.

These seem to work for me.  I checked them before sending and just checked them again.

2. I’m suggesting an amendment to the motion; specifically to “Whereas #3”. I 
believe this to be a friendly amendment, as I’m under the impression it is 
consistent with the SCI’s intentions for a recommended change to the operating 
procedures.

The proposed waiver of the 10-day deadline for submission of a motion in section 
3.3 of the operating procedures will not apply to the deadline for resubmitting 
motions as outlined in sections 4.3.3 and 4.3.4. I believe the distinction 
should be made clear in the council motion we will be voting on. When dealing 
with nuances and modifications to process, these subtleties should leave as 
little doubt as possible to their meaning to avoid any confusion that will lead 
to the need for further revisions.

I’ve attached the proposed amendment to this email, and pasted the amended 
language below.

/"The SCI developed language to be inserted in Section 3.3 (Notice of 
Meetings) of the GNSO Operating Procedures that provide for a waiver of the 
prescribed deadline for the submission of anew motion for voting by the GNSO 
Council in certain circumstances provided certain specified criteria are 
met.This waiver will not, however, apply to resubmission of a motionpursuant 
to the requirements, limitations and exceptionsof resubmitting a motion in 
sections 4.3.3 and 4.3.4 of the GNSO Operating Procedures."/

Seems a bit complicated and I am not sure it is necessary, but ok.
