Dear SCI members, Our next call scheduled for Thursday 23 July at 18:00 UTC would focus on 2 items based on the discussions we already had in Buenos Aires : 1. application of the 10-day waiver rule to resubmitted motions; 2. GNSO Operating Procedures with regard to friendly amendments to motions. When reading through transcripts of previous calls (and especially the one from our BA meeting), the language we need to validate is the one between the brackets as is shown below. If we consider this is not the case, I would like to get clearance on this during our call tomorrow. "If these requirements are not met, the motion shall not be considered submitted for the next Council meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, if the motion is proposed again for a subsequent Council meeting, it shall not be considered a resubmitted motion under the rules for Resubmission of a Motion in these Operating Procedures. [Resubmitted motions made pursuant to Section 4.3.3 of these Operating Procedures after the Submission Deadline must meet these requirements in addition to those detailed in Section 4.3.3 in order to be eligible for consideration by the GNSO Council under this Section 3.3.2.]" If I’m not wrong we had two proposals : waiving the 10 day rule or NOT waiving the 10 day rule. Maybe this is a bit to simple, but as far as I could distinct from the discussions in BA this is the point we had not reached consensus. So perhaps we could start the discussion tomorrow on this level. Of course, open to any other proposal, and looking forward to our meeting tomorrow.
