Dear SCI members,

As discussed on our 04 June call, we will continue discussion on re-submission of a motion at our meeting tomorrow, 02 July. There was agreement on option 2 (see below), but not on which criteria to include (see comments from Anne and James in their emails below).

Best regards,

Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

Procedure for Re-Submission of a Motion:

Option 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.

Ron,

I had wanted to report to SCI that in its full meeting in Beijing, the IPC agreed to the first two criteria listed in Item 2 of the "one or more high level criteria" to be set for resubmitting a motion.

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--
