Thank you James and Jennifer for the quick turnaround on this matter. As I understand it, the request for re-submitting a motion had never happened before the first occasion, which brought it to our table, but I agree that it would be for the Committee to discuss the idea of frequency to make sure we are all of like mind as to what this would mean.

By way of this mail, I am asking Julie to be sure to include this in our next meeting.

Kind regards,

Importance: High

Hello SCI Team:

Last week, Jennifer and I were able to consult with the Registrar Stakeholder Group (RrSG) on this issue. We can report that RrSG members strongly favor Option #2.

Additionally, Registrars agree with the proposed criteria listed, -except- for item #2.4, which they note could be redundant if Items #2.1-#2.3 are followed. Finally, RrSG members would like to see the inclusion of some limitations (per year or minimum time frame) on how frequently a motion may be re-introduced.

We look forward to further discussions on our next call.

Thanks--

Dear SCI members,

This is a reminder of the action item on re-submitting a motion. The action item is as follows:

-- Re-Submitting a Motion -- SCI members: Circulate the options to their Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies.

It is our understanding that we still need to hear from the Intellectual Property Constituency and the Registrar Stakeholder Group. All of the other representatives on the SCI support option 2 below with all the criteria.

Best regards,

Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

Possible Options for Addressing the Re-Submission of a Motion:

1. Leave up to discretion of the Chair

2. Set one or more high-level criteria (in this order):

1) Provide a reasoning to justify the resubmission of a motion. Complete no later than the deadline for submitting a motion -- 8 days prior to the next GNSO Council meeting.

2) Publish the text of the re-submitted motion. Complete no later than the deadline for submitting a motion -- 8 days prior to the next GNSO Council meeting.

3) Require a seconder of the motion from each house as a prerequisite for placing the re-submission of the motion on the consent agenda.

4) Allow a councilor to ask for the re-submission of the motion to be taken off the consent agenda and to request a Council vote on whether to accept the re-submission.
