SCI activity
by KnobenW＠telekom.de May 30, 2012

May 30, 2012

Dear SCI members, after a phase of silent months it's now the right moment to put some items to the table which need input and recommendations from this committee. 1. Rules of procedure (http://gnso.icann.org/council/gnso-operating-procedures-16dec11-en.pdf) The GNSO council had a successful first run trial re a consent agenda which should be put in a formal process. One rugh suggestion for this is as follows: 1. The Chair or meeting leader calls for any opposition to said item being in the consent agenda. If any opposition is voiced, then that item is dropped from the consent agenda (and can be re-introduced at any time in the main agenda). 2. If no opposition is voiced to the item being on the consent agenda, the Chair or meeting leader calls for any opposition to the item itself. If any opposition is voiced, then no action is taken (and the item can be re-introduced at any time in the main agenda). 3. If no opposition, the consent agenda item is deemed approved by theGNSO Council. Obviously we need to discuss this in more detail, e.g. the goal of a consent agenda, which items could be included to a consent agenda and which should definitely be excluded e.a. It seems to make sense to include the text - once recommended - into chapter 3.0 of the rules "GNSO Council Meetings". 2. As discussed in Dakar, it might be worth sending out a reminder to the GNSO Council and SG/C leaders regarding the mandate of the SCI and the opportunity that exists to request review of GNSO Improvement related items. To this end, thanks to Marika the attached draft letter has been prepared for your consideration. Please feel free to comment. 3. Furthermore, in order to obtain feedback from WGs/DT on their experience with the GNSO Working Group Guidelines - as it is intended in the SCI charter - , it might be useful to develop a short survey which could facilitate data gathering and input. In order to kick off the discussion here are some bullet points: * The objective of the survey would be to determine whether there are any issues that were encountered by WG/Dts with the GNSO Working Group Guidelines, and/or identify areas for improvement * If deemed effective, such a survey could become a standard part of the self-evaluation process of WGs and provide the SCI with regular input on the status of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines Ideas for items to be included in the survey are welcome! I appreciate very much your response and hope to see most of you in Costa Rica. Kind regards Wolf-Ulrich Knoben

SCI call agenda
by KnobenW＠telekom.de May 30, 2012

May 30, 2012

All, This is the suggested agenda for the SCI call tomorrow: - Roll call - Statement of Interests - Approval of the agenda - Background information (and suggested solutions) on - Update of GNSO Council Voting Results Table - Voting Thresholds for Delaying a PDP - Deferral of Motions - Proxy Voting Procedure - Consent Agenda - AOB: next meeting, F2F in Prague? BTW the SCI exists now for more than 1 year and has elected chair and vice chair since around 1 year. I couldn't find anything in the charter re term limits for chair and VC. If we find time we should once discuss a reasonable term for both positions. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Best regards Wolf-Ulrich

Proxy Voting
by Julie Hedlund May 30, 2012

May 30, 2012

Dear SC members, Here is some information concerning proxy voting that may be useful for our discussion during today's call. See the current procedures below. Changes to the proxy voting procedures (and other procedures relating to voting) were approved by the GNSO Council in September 2011. The purpose of the revisions was to simply and clarify the procedures and avoid contradicting the internal procedures of some constituencies. The issue that has been raised for today's discussion relates to proxies. In particular, at a recent Council meeting one council member couldn't attend but his SG wasn't in the position to provide a proxy in the formal way according to the rules. So one of the questions was whether and under which conditions a present member of her/his group could - on his behalf - declare what may be her/his intention re the proxy. In addition the question should be dealt with whether the council has to accept this request. Best regards, Julie 4.6 Proxy Voting An abstaining or absent Council member as defined above (the Proxy Giver) may transfer his or her vote to any other Council member (the Proxy Holder). The Proxy Holder must vote in order of precedence according to one of three types: 1. An instruction from the Proxy Giver’s appointing organization (if applicable), or if none; 2. An instruction from the Proxy Giver, or in the absence of either; 3. The Proxy Holder’s own conscience. a. Multiple Proxies A GNSO Council member is not permitted to be a Proxy Holder for more than one Proxy Giver. b. Quorum An absent Council member does not count toward quorum even if a proxy has been established. A Temporary Alternate (see Section 4.7-Temporary Alternate <#_4.7_Temporary_Alternate_3> below) if present, would count toward quorum. c. Proxy Notification A proxy notification must be sent to the GNSO Secretariat and should indicate which type it is. The notification should, where applicable, be sent by the Proxy Giver's appointing organization. Ordinarily a proxy notification must be received by the GNSO Secretariat before the start of the relevant meeting. Exceptionally, a proxy notification may be given during a meeting by a Council member who is present but needs to leave before a vote. In all cases the most recent notification takes precedence.

Notes from SCI meeting and updated consent agenda language for review
by Marika Konings May 8, 2012

May 8, 2012

Dear All, Please find below the notes of last week's SCI meeting. In addition, please find attached an updated version of the proposed consent agenda language in which I've aimed to incorporate the different points raised during the meeting. Also, dedicated wiki pages have been created for the different sub-teams (see https://community.icann.org/x/LIHg) If there are any additional volunteers for any of the sub-teams, please let me know. Please note that we still need to modify the permissions for the wiki space so that everyone has the appropriate editing capabilities (hopefully this will get taken care off in the next couple of days). The next SCI meeting is scheduled for 17 May at 19.00 UTC. With best regards, Marika From: Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org>> Reply-To: Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org>> To: Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org>> Subject: Adobe Connect - Note Pod Content from Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation Proposed Agenda 1. Roll call 2. Statements of Interest 3. Status of work teams on - Consent agenda - Deferral of motions - Threshold rules needed for delaying a PDP - GNSO Council Voting Results Table - Proxy voting procedure 4. WG Survey 5. AOB - SOI (raised by Evan Leibovitch) Notes Administrative Items - Additional participants needed for consent agenda item and voting results table (Avri willing to join sub-team if needed. Wolf also willing to move from deferral to GNSO Council Voting Results Table) - Mary volunteered for Proxy Voting Procedures - Additional item regarding SOI raised by Evan Leibovitch - raises the question who may raise issues with the SCI (currently only GNSO Council or WGs can raise issues with the SCI according to the Charter) - Circulate sub-team list to the mailing list to see if there are additional volunteers - Develop wiki pages for sub-teams and consider using google docs to work collaboratively on items. Consent Agenda - Clarify terminology re. Council leadership / Chair / Vice-Chairs - Consider excluding PDP related item as well as recommendations to the Board from the consent agenda - What happens to items that are removed from the consent agenda, do they end up on the normal agenda or move on to the next meeting? Should it be clarified in the proposed draft? - What is the deadline for making supporting documents availabe in suficient time (is that the 8-day deadline)? Consider clarifying that this is the timeline that applies or referring to the applicable place in the operating procedures that addresses timing. - What kind of vote is taken? Simple majority? How to deal with items that have a different voting threshold associated with it? Doesn't the same voting threshold apply as for other items? Consent agenda is intended to expedite adminstrative manners, items that need further discussion end up on normal agenda. Consider excluding all items that have a voting threshold associated with it that is not simple majority (addresses concern over voting thresholds as well as items that should not be eligible for consent agenda). Deferral of motions - Ron and Angie to take the lead on this item - Review historic data received from GNSO secretariat Voting Threshold Rules for Delaying a PDP - See staff paper on this issue Proxy Voting Procedure - See proposal circulated by Wolf - Put at the top of the agenda for the next meeting Update of GNSO council Voting Results - Add 'only for significant cause' to terminating a PDP - Include reference to Bylaws to clarify meaning of certain voting thresholds - Share Word version of document with Anne

Consent agenda
by Marika Konings May 3, 2012

May 3, 2012

Dear All, In order to facilitate the discussions on the consent agenda item, please find attached a first draft of a possible provision to be included in the GNSO Operating Procedures. Please note that there are a couple of differences with the language suggested by J. Scott: * In order to avoid awkward situations, it would be recommended to exclude items that are subject to absentee voting from being on a consent agenda. Otherwise you might have a situation where an item is approved on the consent agenda, but here's a possibility that an online voter may vote against the item, that would make it awkward to later say "this item was passed on the consent agenda with one online vote against." * The language proposed by J. Scott suggested a call for 'no objections' following which the items would be approved, but that does not align with the Bylaws which calls for an affirmative vote so I've changed that accordingly. * Because of the house-based nature of the GNSO and the various thresholds, we'd encourage the GNSO to consider including a statement in the minutes regarding the composition/threshold that approved the consent agenda which has also been reflected in the proposed language. With best regards, Marika
