RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Actions: SCI Meeting 07 April 2013

Very helpful, Mary. Thank you. RA Ron Andruff www.lifedotsport.com -------- Original message -------- From: Mary.Wong(a)law.unh.edu Date: To: gnso-improvem-impl-sc(a)icann.org Subject: RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Actions: SCI Meeting 07 April 2013 Hi Anne, I don't know if this will help but I got a few "clarifying questions" (heheh) from members about how it would work, so I created the following explanation. Feel free to use/circulate! Alternative #1: Leave the decision whether to accept the re-submission and place it on the Council's agenda up to the Chair of the GNSO Council OR Alternative #2. Comply with ALL the following criteria, in the following order: 1. Re-submitting Councilor must provide the reasoning to justify the resubmission of a motion, no later than the usual deadline for submitting an original motion -- 8 days prior to the next GNSO Council meeting. 2. The text of the re-submitted motion must be published, no later than the usual deadline for submitting an original motion -- 8 days prior to the next GNSO Council meeting. 3. The re-submitted motion must have a seconder from each house as a prerequisite for placing the procedural question of accepting the re-submission on the consent agenda at the next GNSO Council meeting. 4. Any Councilor can ask for the acceptance of re-submission to be taken off the consent agenda -- in which case the question whether or not the re-submission should even go through goes automatically to a Council vote on whether to accept it. NOTE: All this is just to decide if the act of re-submission itself is accepted -- the actual substance of the motion does not get discussed, or put to a vote, until the re-submission is accepted. CONTEXT: At a recent Council meeting, a motion was voted on and defeated because two Councilors abstained without realizing that an abstention under the GNSO Council rules is automatically deemed to be a No vote. The question then became whether the motion could be re-submitted and re-voted on, at which point it became clear that the GNSO Council rules and procedures do NOT currently have a process in place to deal with the question. The SCI was therefore asked to look at the issue and recommend such a process.

With regard to the history of the decision-making methodology in the SCI charter, having been involved in the drafting of the original charter, this provision was copied/pasted from the OSC and PPSC charters which were also operating using full consensus and if I recall well (which also seems to be confirmed by the transcript), there was not much discussion in relation to this specific item at the time. > >Best regards, > >Marika > >From: Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund(a)icann.org<mailto:julie.hedlund@icann.org>> >Date: Monday 8 April 2013 10:24 >To: "gnso-improvem-impl-sc(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org>" <gnso-improvem-impl-sc(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org>> >Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] SCI Charter: Transcript > >Dear SCI members, > >Per the request from Ron Andruff during yesterday's meeting to see the transcript on the development of the SCI charter, the attached document covers the development of all of the sections.
