Proposed language to address suspending a PDP
by Marika Konings Sept. 6, 2012

Sept. 6, 2012

Dear All, Following on from the last meeting, please find hereby the proposed language to be added to the PDP Manual to address suspending a PDP after initiation: The GNSO Council may terminate or suspend* a PDP prior to the publication of a Final Report only for significant cause, upon a motion that passes with a Supermajority Vote in favour of termination or suspension. The following are illustrative examples of possible reasons for a premature termination or suspension of a PDP: 1. Deadlock. The PDP Team is hopelessly deadlocked and unable to identify recommendations or statements that have either the strong support or a consensus of its members despite significant time and resources being dedicated to the PDP; 2. Changing Circumstances. Events have occurred since the initiation of the PDP that have rendered the PDP moot, or no longer necessary, or warranting a suspension; or 3. Lack of Community Volunteers. Despite several calls for participation, the work of the PDP Team is significantly impaired and unable to effectively conclude its deliberations due to lack of volunteer participation. * Suspension is a time interval during which there is a temporary cessation of the PDP, i.e. all activities are halted upon a decision of the GNSO Council until further notice. This would be a modification of the current language of section 15 of the PDP manual (modified language in bold). Looking forward to receiving your feedback. With best regards, Marika

Kind regards, Glen GNSO Secretariat gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> AC Chat transcript 30 August 2012 Julie Hedlund: Hi Marika I just Julie Hedlund: joined Marika Konings: Hi Julie Marika Konings: Analysis is up now. avri: The opinion that says Avri can be marked as NCSG. J. Scott Evans: I think there has already been an issue, the problem was there was no formal process for considering the issue Ron A: @ Avri: ltd to one to ensure no stonewalling Ron A: BC supports status quo Ron A: Agree with argument; but safeguard the principle Ron A: My point Avri! J. Scott Evans: If we leave it as is, then I think we need be very specific in our reasoning by pointing out that we believe that the Chair has the discretion to deny. That needs to be clearly ennunciated. Ron A: What happens if the chair is biased for or against? Ron A: bias by way of affiliation J. Scott Evans: Good question Anne. J. Scott Evans: I thought Stephane clearly stated that he could NOT deny request because he had no process for doing so. Hence, theis issue coming to the SCIU avri: Except in PDPD's where it has been enshrined, it is just a priactice and practice belongs to the chair. J. Scott Evans: SCI avri: PDP's not PDPD's Anne Aikman-Scalese: Chair cannot choose without authority to do so in governance documents, I think. Anne Aikman-Scalese: Principle should not depend on which particular individual holds the position of Chair of the GNSO. Authority to override a deferral should be clear if it is needed. J. Scott Evans: If you want to keep it as is, I think that we need to clearly state that the Chair has discretion to deny or to put to a vote. Ray Fassett - RySG: agree with J Scott J. Scott Evans: In other words, clearly state that the request does not HAVE to be automatically granted Ron A: @ J +1 Anne Aikman-Scalese: Agree with J. Scott and Ray but we should cite to the basis for this opinion by SCI. Ron A: 8 days for larger institutions that make up the BC or ISCP need more than 8 days Avri Ray Fassett - RySG: Anne-perhaps can cite the rationale as the checks balances that exist in procedures for the chair to always act neutral Anne Aikman-Scalese: Yes, but overriding a deferral may not be seen as "neutral". Ray Fassett - RySG: in that situation, there are procedures for others to bring that complaint, I believe Anne Aikman-Scalese: Yes, but do we really want to put the GNSO Chair in that position in relation to complaints? avri: i disagree with coffying what the chair can and can't do. avri: coffying - codifying. Ron A: @ Anne: we are only giving recommendations back to council at teh SCI Ron A: SCI recommendations avri: each chair gets to interpret on her own. Ron A: Let the Chair's authority be challenged by test of the principle avri: and if she is deemd to have done wrong by the g-council, she can be removed or not re-elected. Otherwise we will need 10 volumes of g-council rules. Ray Fassett - RySG: agree with ron and avri Ron A: @ J - fully agree with your summation avri: The working on this goes too far for me. I do not think we should be offereing specific alternatives. Ray Fassett - RySG: agree with j scott Ron A: The reasoning doesn't havet to go to far into the weeds Anne Aikman-Scalese: J. Scott, Are you saying the deferral practice itself is discretionary with the Chair so the denial of a deferral is also discretionary? J. Scott Evans: Anne: Yes, picking up on Avri's point, the deferral practice is courtesy that has historically been extended at the discretion of the Chair.

Closing Public Forum for GNSO Operating Procedures Changes
by Julie Hedlund Aug. 22, 2012

Aug. 22, 2012

Dear SCI members, As of the close of the public comment reply period for the Proposed Modifications to GNSO Council Operating Procedures at: http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/gnso-operating-procedures-2012-… there was only one comment. It was from the Registries Stakeholder Group at: http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-operating-procedures-2012/ in support of the changes. I will request that the forum should be closed and will prepare for your consideration the analysis of the comment, which as you might imagine will be quite brief. Once you have reviewed the analysis I think the next step would be to prepare an item for the GNSO Council to review and approve the changes, perhaps with a motion for consideration at the next Council meeting. I'll be happy to prepare a draft of the motion if you wish. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

Many thanks to Julie Hedlund for her work in preparing this for your review. As we discussed during our most recent meeting this past Thursday, Aug. 9th, we seem to be coalescing around couple of ways to address the issue of deferral of motions. As you may recall, the issue was whether to create a rule in the GNSO Council Operating Procedures to limit how many times a motion may be deferred. Staff provided statistics from 2010 and 2011 on the number of deferrals. The SCI members seem to agree that the numbers were not high and did not suggest abuse. Conversations on the wiki (see https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/Deferral+of+Motions) suggest two ways the SCI could recommend that the GNSO Council could address this issue: 1. A light touch approach, i.e. request Staff to monitor deferred motions for one year and present the results to the SCI. At that time, the SCI will once again analyze the results, decide whether deferrals are being abused, and whether a change to the Procedures is warranted; or 2. Recommend to the GNSO Council a change to the Procedures that sets a limit on the number of deferrals. The limit would be 1 deferral and the issue that was deferred would be the first item on the following GNSO Council agenda. We would now like to see if we can reach a consensus on one or the other of these two recommendations to the GNSO Council on Deferral of Motions. Please indicate on the list your preference for one of these two options (if not in agreement, suggest a third option for SCI members to consider). Thank you for your assistance in helping us move item this to completion. Kind regards, RA Ronald N.

SCI Meeting 09 August: Notes and Actions
by Julie Hedlund Aug. 9, 2012

Aug. 9, 2012

Dear SCI members, Below for your consideration are the notes and actions from the chat room for today's meeting. Please let me know if you have any questions or clarifications. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Notes/Actions: Status update on community review -- consent agenda & the GNSO Council Voting Results -- Initial period has closed; reply period opened 31 July and closes 20 August -- One comment from Registries SG ACTION: Staff will provide analysis tool and SCI will consider the comments and replies when the forum closes. Proxy Voting Procedure Proposed: no change to procedure, request new method for notification of both Secretariat and Council -- Staff have confirmed that this can be done -- SCI can recommend the change to the Council with a short explanation ACTION: Julie to provide bullet points to Wolf-Ulrich Deferral of Motions Ron -- Talked about circulating a motion before it is submitted. If a deferral arises we would allow only 1 deferral or 2. I think we should come back and monitor it in a year. -- Wolf-Ulrich -- Do we need criteria for monitoring? What numbers would we use? -- Ron -- If people are starting to abuse it then we could set a rule for 1 deferral. Put this to a vote on the SCI: whether or not to create a rule or just monitor it for a year. ACTION: Ron with Julie to draft a message. Voting Thresholds for Delaying a PDP -- Language from staff on suspention -- Angie: "warranting a suspension" seems too vague -- Ron: Was it the deferral of a PDP relating to the VeriSign contract the reason for this issue being raised? Need to clarify this. -- James: When we originally discussed this it was designed to be used in rare circumstances. -- Anne: Was the issue of suspension considered in the previous PDP? -- James: We weren't specific to GNSO PDPs, but were looking at the organization that initiate the PDP would have the authority to terminate it. ACTION: Ask SCI members to comment on the language on the list and look to the wiki where comments are posted. Raising an issue - Has this been sufficiently clarified - currently needs to come from g-council or from a WG -- Ron: Why would we not take anyone's issue up? -- Julie: SCI Charter says requests can only come from the Council or an organization chartered by the Council -- need to clarify the scope. ACTION: Mary to draft with J Scott. a letter to the GNSO Council to ask for clarfication with respect to the meaning of hte charter (clarify the scope) Status update on Working Group survey -- Save for next time. Next Meeting: 30th of August at the same time.
