Deferrals - Key questions / logic points in order to try to achieve consensus
by Jonathan Robinson July 12, 2012

July 12, 2012

Key Questions / Issues . Do we permit 1st deferrals? . Do we require a reason / motivation for deferrals? . If a reason is required / provided, is it subject to any test? . Are 1st deferrals automatic or do we subject them to some form of vote / test? . Can a deferral be overruled? If so, what is the condition / test to overrule? . Do we permit 2nd deferrals? . If we permit 2nd deferrals, do we subject them to some form of vote / test? . Do we permit 3rd deferrals? My Answers . Do we permit 1st deferrals? Yes . Do we require a reason / motivation for deferrals? Yes . If a reason is required / provided, is it subject to any test? No, we trust the provider of the reason . Are 1st deferrals automatically granted or do we subject them to some form of vote / test? Yes, they are automatically granted . Can a 1st deferral be overruled? If so, what is the condition / test to overrule? Yes, subject to a request from a councillor and a [supermajority] vote of the council to deny . Do we permit 2nd deferrals? Yes . If we permit 2nd deferrals, do we subject them to some form of vote / test? Yes, 2nd deferral requires a request from a councillor and a [supermajority] vote of the council to permit . Do we permit 3rd deferrals? No. A motion should be voted on or withdrawn at this stage. Note: I use "withdrawn" not "tabled" as tabled in my English, tabled means put forward / submitted not withdrawn

Actually, my recollection/impression was that when the SCI charter was drafted the phrase was intended to refer to SGs and Cs as well. Can staff or someone with a better memory than I recall one way or the other? Sent from a mobile device; please excuse brevity and any grammatical or typographical errors.

It does not appear to me on the surface that this phrase refers to a constituency. I doubt SCI wants to become involved in taking direct requests from constituencies rather than from the GNSO directly or from working groups chartered by the GNSO which are composed of members from more than one constituency and/or stakeholder group.

The g-council could then send the issue to the SCI, ignore it, or find some other approach. Alternatively, ALAC could request an issues report on the subject of SOI/CoI in GNSO policy making etc. One thing the GNSO should probably avoid, especially during this time of ICANN introspection concerning conflicts of interest, is ignoring the issue. But I agree we should handle this within the rules established by our charter. avri Krista Papac <Krista.Papac(a)ausregistry.com> wrote: >My initial reaction is we should stick with what's in the Charter and >take requests from the GNSO Council or a group chartered by the GNSO >Council. > >Krista Papac >General Manager, Policy & Industry Affairs AusRegistry Group Pty Ltd >Email: >krista.papac(a)ausregistry.com<mailto:krista.papac@ausregistry.com> >Web: www.ausregistry.com > >From: owner-gnso-improvem-impl-sc(a)icann.org >[mailto:owner-gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org] On Behalf Of >KnobenW(a)telekom.de >Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 1:55 AM >To: AAikman(a)lrlaw.com; marika.konings(a)icann.org; avri(a)acm.org >Cc: gnso-improvem-impl-sc(a)icann.org >Subject: AW: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] SCI meeting agenda > >The charter reads: ><<For items that are submitted for review 'on request', the SCI expects >to receive detailed input from the group affected by the >process/operational change concerned.

AW: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] SCI meeting agenda
by KnobenW＠telekom.de June 20, 2012

June 20, 2012

Personally my first reaction would be: we should handle it practically and with flexibility. Don't start amending the rules unless it is imperative. Flexibility could mean that the SCI - for a certain period of time (eg 1 year) monitors how many issues are raised by individuals/groups not covered by the charter. In case it exceeds a certain volume of requests (depending on the workload) the SCI may strictly return to the rules as written and not accept further requests from outside - for the a.m. period of time the SCI may discuss all issues raised and make recommendations/suggestions re the issues in scope - re Evan's SOI related issue I recall - if I'm right - that he was questioning the sense of some of the points asked for in the SOI. I think we should first find out whether his issue was more ALAC specific than relevant to the GNSO What do others mean? Best regards Wolf-Ulrich ________________________________ Von: Marika Konings [mailto:marika.konings@icann.org] Gesendet: Montag, 18.

by Marika Konings June 20, 2012

June 20, 2012

Dear All, Please find below the notes from this week's SCI meeting. With regard to the request to obtain further information on the process the Board uses for deferrals, we can report that there is currently no formal procedure used by the Board. In practice, the Board can and does defer action on items at the discretion of the Board and Chair, but it doesn't follow a formal procedure. Please note that the next meeting is scheduled F2F in Prague on Sunday 24 June from 8.00 – 9.00 local time in conference room Congress III. 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 SCI Meeting Agenda - 18 June 2012 1. Roll call 2. Statement of Interests 3. Approval of the agenda 4. Background information (and suggested solutions) on - Deferral of Motions - Proxy Voting Procedure - Voting Thresholds for Delaying a PDP 5. Consensus items: GNSO Council Voting Results Table, Consent Agenda 6. AOB: next meeting, F2F in Prague? Notes: - Deferral of Motions: Should this remain an informal practice or should it become a formal procedure (original question of the GNSO Council)? Some expressed support for formalizing this procedure, but some also suggested it could continue as an informal practice, with the option to review in a certain amount of time. Possible requirements if policy is formalized: deferral only for maximum one meeting (although exceptions may have to possible?) / NCA should also be able to defer motions (not only SG/C) / ony allow deferral if information is incomplete (and until information is complete) / One deferral per SG or C?. If SCI response is 'yes' it should be a formal process, it should also include a recommendation for how this process should look for GNSO Council consideration. Staff to check what process, if any, the Board uses for deferral of motions. Issue was also discussed in earlier discussions of PPSC - aren't same arguments still valid for keeping it an informal process? Instead of formal process, SCI could also consider issuing 'guidance'. No decision yet on formal or informal process. Wolf to report back to the GNSO Council on the status of discussions in the update in Prague - might result in further guidance. Consider taking a poll amongst membership - but question would need to be clear. Wolf to circulate proposed language to the list re. update.

Wolf-Ulrich Knoben, chair of the Standing Committee on GNSO Improvements Implementation (SCI), requests a meeting on Sunday, 24 June 2012 from 08:00 -09:00, one hour prior to the scheduled start of the GNSO Working session in Congress III. Refer to http://prague44.icann.org/node/31565 Reason for Request: The GNSO Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) has been tasked by the GNSO Council to address a number of issues relating to the implementation of recommendations coming out of the GNSO Improvements efforts. The SCI is currently addressing issues such as consent agenda, voting thresholds to delay a PDP and proxy voting. The SCI was planning to hold a teleconference meeting prior to Prague, but due to schedule conflicts, it is no longer possible to organize such a teleconference meeting. As a result, as most members of the SCI will be present in Prague, the SCI would like to hold a meeting on Sunday morning from 8.00 - 9.00 prior to the start of the GNSO Working Session. AV Requirements for the meeting: Public Audio Streaming Remote participation via a telephone bridge : 866-692-5726 (US toll free #) Transcription via Verizon Room set up: Same as for the GNSO Working Session Description of meeting: There is no need to make any change to the description currently posted on the website.

Please let me know if you need further details. Thank you for considering our request. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Standing Committee chair Wolf-Ulrich Knoben.

Marika Konings: Yes, I believe so to as all voting thresholds (that are not simple majority) are listed in the Bylaws Mary Wong: @Avri, they would be Bylaw changes, right? e.g. to Annex A; and so would need Board approval after Council approval? Marika Konings: It is actually not in Annex A but in the section on the GNSO Marika Konings: Article X, section 3(9) Mary Wong: Oh, right - sorry! Article X ... ? avri: and that also means ammending.
