Hi, I’ve sent these proposals to the NCUC discuss list about two weeks ago, and have received no objections in response. I also have no objections, and would like to vote in favour of both proposals. I would, however for the sake of clarity, request that it be pointed out to the GNSO Council when sending these proposals that the 10-day waiver rule only applies to new motions and not to motions being resubmitted. Thanks. Amr On Sep 3, 2014, at 5:11 PM, Mary Wong <mary.wong@icann.org> wrote:
Hello again everyone,
Just a note to follow up on Ron’s email (below) - we will close the Consensus Call for both topics (Waiver of the 10-Day Motion Submission Deadline and Proposal for Voting Outside a GNSO Council Meeting) this Friday 5 September. Please let us know as soon as possible, and no later than Friday, if you or your group have any objections to either proposal. If there are no objections or changes received by Friday 5 September 2014, the language will be presumed to be accepted by full consensus.
Thanks and cheers Mary

Thanks for bringing these Consensus Calls to the list, Mary.
This is a reminder to all members that with the first week of this behind us, we have two weeks in front of us before this consensus call is considered closed.
Kind regards,

Dear SCI members,
As agreed on the last SCI call, the following documents are being circulated for a formal Consensus Call: (1) the SCI’s proposal to add language to the existing Section 3.3 of the GNSO Operating Procedures regarding waiver of the 10-day motion deadline rule; and (2) the SCI’s proposal for a new Section 4.10 to be added to the GNSO Operating Procedures, to deal with voting outside a GNSO Council meeting.
Please note that per the SCI Charter, "Unless otherwise determined by the SCI members, committee decisions will be made by “full consensus” process as described in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines (see section 3.6).” As such, please review the attached documents with your Stakeholder Group or Constituency (as applicable) if you have not already done so. If the language is approved the next step will be for staff to prepare a redlined version of the GNSO Council Operating Procedures that will be put out for public comment; following which the SCI will review any relevant public comments received. The final step will be submission of the finalized language and proposals to the GNSO Council for its review and adoption.
If there are no objections or changes received by Friday 5 September 2014, the language will be presumed to be accepted by full consensus.
For the attached documents, please note the following minor changes that were made after the last SCI call on 5 August: The format and introductory paragraph to the proposal for the Waiver of the 10-day Motion Rule was amended to conform with the format approved by the SCI for Voting Outside a Council Meeting. The proposed Section number for Voting Outside a Council Meeting was changed to Section 4.10 as there already is a Section 4.5 in the current GNSO Operating Procedures. By numbering this proposal Section 4.10, it will (if adopted) be added to the GNSO Operating Procedures to follow the last current section in the Voting chapter (Section 4.9, regarding a Consent Agenda), without the need to renumber any of the existing Sections in this chapter.

Mary
