All, Here are the actions and notes from today's SCI call. Our next meeting will be in two weeks on 15 November 2012. A meeting notice will ben sent in advance of the meeting. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Actions: Julie Hedlund: 1) send around the options on Raising an Issue for a last call for comments — provide a 1-week response James Bladel and Jennifer Standiford: Review the draft survey and provide comments by the end of the week. Agenda/Notes: 1. Roll call 2. Statement of Interests — None 3. Approval of the agenda -- Approved 4. Chair and Vice Chair election -- Wolf-Ulrich: Re chair and VC election I suggest the following process in accordance with what we've done last time: 1. Nomination of candidates from the membership 2. In case of more than 1 nominee for each position election should be held by balloting. Also, we are facing new membership on the SCI because we have new Council members. Asked the new NCAs asking about representation. Jennifer volunteered. I am waiting for responses from others. Also, asked Mary re: the NSUC on the SCI. James: Is there a deadline for selecting the Chair and Vice Chair? Wolf-Ulrich: There is nothing in the charter about new Chairs/Vice Chairs. 5. Deferral of Motions — updated response circulated by J. Scott — This item is deferred to the next meeting since there were only 4 SCI members on the call. 6. Update on Public Comments on Changes to the PDP Manual for Suspension of a PDP -- Julie Hedlund: Opened 22 Oct/Close 12 Nov. If comments reply period 13 Nov/Close 03 Dec. 7. Raising an issue — Seems to be support for option nr 1: maintain status quo — Wolf-Ulrich: Send again to the SCI members as a last call. Responses in two weeks. 8. Status update on Working Group survey -- Wolf-Ulrich: Number 4 and 5 -- question about scaling -- will we have other categories in the scale? Julie: These could be easily standardized. Wolf-Ulrich — there shouldn't be too many categories in the scale. Ray — Registry SG thought the survey was good in general (not a consensus position). James: Jennifer and I can review by the end of the week. Julie: Staff can create a Zoomerang survey as a trial and the ITRP Part C WG could try it out. James: Registrars and IRTP Part C group could try the survey and they could do it in a week. 9. AOB — None
