Adobe Chat Transcript 03 June 2014
Terri Agnew:Welcome to the SCI call on the 3rd of June 2014
Ron A:Good day all!
Ron A:just waiting in the queue to come in on the call...
Thomas Rickert 3:Hi all!
Mary Wong:@Lori, do you have a Statement of Interest or an update to one?
lori schulman:Hi Mary, I don't believe so.
lori schulman:I am ramping up on everything.
Mary Wong:OK - I'll send you the link/form. We need it, and your SG/C affiliation, per the GNSO WG Guidelines :)
lori schulman:No problem. I will do all that is required.
Mary Wong:Thanks so much!
Ron A:@ Anne: Is there a reason you would like to see this go to Legal coincidentally with Pub Com?
Ron A:As opposed to serially?
Mary Wong:@Avri, that is what happens
Anne Aikman-Scalese:just want to know whether we are seeking Legal input on all recommendations from scI as a matter of course
Greg Shatan:It sounds more like a "red flag" process than an "input" process to me....
Mary Wong:On things like rules, procedures, published reports and policy recommendations etc.., that's the practice (not just SCI or GNSO).
Mary Wong:@GReg, that's exactly right.
Anne Aikman-Scalese:okay, thanks. dont think Legal should delay recommendations going to gnso
Mary Wong:No, absolutely.
Mary Wong:If necessary, we staff can be very pesky with our colleagues on behalf of the community :)
Mary Wong:I thought Julie had abandoned us!!! :) :)
Anne Aikman-Scalese:no need to be pesky If Legal has comments, they should send to GNSO directly and to us at the same time
Ron A:@ Anne: I think we agree with the principle you are bringing up, however I see it as a quick 'sanity' check rather than a an ask for approval.
Mary Wong:@Ron, as indeed it is!
Greg Shatan:How about this revision to the end of the new language: "...shall be considered timely submitted for the next GNSO Council meeting.."
Thomas Rickert 2:What about "as soon as practically possible"?
Anne Aikman-Scalese:It would be better to say directly whether or not such a motion can be dealt with via e-mail voting.
Greg Shatan:I disagree. The question of whether this or any other motion can be dealt with via e-mail voting.
Greg Shatan:is irrelevan to this rule.
Thomas Rickert 2:.shall be considered timely submitted for the next GNSO Council meeting and dealt with according to the rules applying to GNSO Council meeting
Anne Aikman-Scalese:It could still be deferred when considered.
Greg Shatan:@Avri -- how about my language above?
Anne Aikman-Scalese:Re "parking", I thought we said all of these items are going out for public comment at the same time.
Anne Aikman-Scalese:Language in minutes lookjs good.
Cintra Sooknanan:I agree with Greg's analysis ....
Avri Doria:i am afraid it will be used to block.
Cintra Sooknanan:Avri would you prefer to change the shall to may?
Avri Doria:pabncake? what does that have to do with nything?
Greg Shatan:Exactly. It has nothing dto dowht anything....
Avri Doria:i accept Thomases langauge. I do not think it is redundnat. and ass i say as written it will be used to block an intermediate vote sooner or later. anyone who has done council knows that.
Anne Aikman-Scalese:Greg, are you saying amend to say "shall be considered timely submitted for the next meeting"
Greg Shatan:Yes.
Avri Doria:i have been convinced that it is essential to change it.
Greg Shatan:Thumbs up for Option B.
Cintra Sooknanan:change it in what way? shall to may?
Avri Doria:Cintra, that iis not enough. and that might even block what Greg wants.
Cintra Sooknanan:ok
Cintra Sooknanan:are you suggesting an option c?
Greg Shatan:I don't think we should preclude e-voting for these motions. I just think it is not relevant here.
Anne Aikman-Scalese:If it is not precluded, that should be more clear as in Option A draft language.
Cintra Sooknanan:I think it is relevant, but I think it has been catered for
Cintra Sooknanan:evoting... can only take place with the disucssion taking place on the mailing list etc
Cintra Sooknanan:may= can be at the next meeting or otherwise
lori schulman:I agree with Avri -- "may" appears to make the vote optional.
Greg Shatan:I don't think Option B in any way precludes a request for evoting or a special meeting.
Anne Aikman-Scalese:Greg is more of a purist than I am. He is legally quite correct but I think it wont be clear to non-lawyers.
Greg Shatan:Meh.
Ron A:Thank you on behalf of the non-lawyers Anne! ;o)
Greg Shatan:@Avri -- it's treyfe! That's why it could not pass your lips.
Cintra Sooknanan:sorry have connection problems
Avri Doria:Greg: (:
Ron A:Cintra:Can you add your thoughts via the chat?
Anne Aikman-Scalese:Mary, is it always a motion?
Anne Aikman-Scalese:Thanks Avri.
Mary Wong:For COuncil voting? Yes I believe so - tho I will check re Greg's question about the Chair.
Cintra Sooknanan:my issue is with the quorum
Cintra Sooknanan:was there any mention on quorum on an email vote
Cintra Sooknanan:is there automatic quorum?
Cintra Sooknanan:I am scanning the text but maybe I am missing it
Anne Aikman-Scalese:Check bylaws requirement for quorum per Cintra's comment!
Mary Wong:There is a quorum requirement - think we tried to capture that in Section 5
Cintra Sooknanan:is it that as long as the email credentials are sent out the vote is assumed to be quorate
Cintra Sooknanan:?
Mary Wong:SEction 4.1 of the GNSO Op Proc, to be precise.
Cintra Sooknanan:sorry for not speaking earlier very noisy here at the moment
Ron A:All good Cintra.
Cintra Sooknanan:my reason for declining approval was beacuse i think we need to beef up the quorum section here
Cintra Sooknanan:thanks everyone... and to the subteam for their work on this... :)
Anne Aikman-Scalese:Thanks everyone!
Cintra Sooknanan:bye everyone, thanks Ron
Thomas Rickert 2:bye all - cu in London! thanks Ron!
Greg Shatan:2:30 am for remote
lori schulman:thank you for my first meeting
