Notes: 1. Section 18.12 Special IFRs: Guidelines for GNSO-ccNSO Consultation on Initiating a Special IFR: -- DT and GRC had a productive meeting on Monday, 15 July to discuss revisions to the guidelines addressing questions from the GRC. -- Staff worked with Heather Forrest and David McCauley to revise the document and sent it to the GRC and DT on 18 July. -- Staff will work with David McCauley on the timing of a reminder to the GRC and DT to request input no later than 16 August. 3. Section 1.3 Approval Action Community Forum: -- 4.1 Representative to the EC Administration -- that is correct, the Chair may not always be in this position. Leave it as “Representative to the EC Administration” rather than “Chair”. -- 4.3.1: “In no event later than” could be said simply as “within". Although the first construction is more consistent with the Bylaws. ACTION: Heather and Steve to review. -- 4.3.2: Abstentions: count as abstentions in this section, not as a no, with respect to the count. The relevant section of the Bylaws is excerpted, but include a note about approval at the beginning of the document: “Note that per Bylaws section 1.4(b)(i)-(iii) of Decision Whether to Approve an Approval Action, an action is approved if it is (A) supported by three or more Decisional Participants and (B) not objected to by more than one Decisional Participant.” ACTION: Staff to insert text for Heather and Steve to review. -- On the Timeline for GNSO Council Decision, T-21 -- Schedule Special Meeting of the GNSO Council to occur within 14 days -- check GNSO Operating Procedures 3.3.1 Advance Notice of Meetings. ACTION: Heather to review. -- Final call is the next DT meeting on 07 August. 3. Section 2.2 Petition Process for Specified Actions and Section 2.3 Rejection Action Community: -- When we did these bylaws in 2016 we wanted to allow each AC/SO decisional participant to decide it’s own procedures to arrive at its decision. -- From Heather Forrest to Everyone: (05:51 PM) @Steve - for GNSO does that also mean decision-making within the SG/Cs? -- Steve’s suggestion -- should be stakeholder groups OR constituencies. -- Staff should incorporate a timeline for both processes and make sure that the relevant sections of 2.3 are consistent with 1.3. -- DT members should review and be prepared for a discussion during the meeting on 07 August.
