Dear SCI members, Please see below the proposed agenda from Anne and Rudi for tomorrow's SCI meeting. Related documents also are attached for your reference. Kind regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director 1. Order of Consideration of Current Requests from GNSO Council: Current Practice in Relation to Motions "The GNSO Council requests that the SCI codifies the existing customary practices of the GNSO Council[This step is complete.]. If the SCI believes that the current practices are inappropriate, the SCI should convey its reasons for such belief to the Council and develop new processes to govern the seconding of motions and amendments to motions. [Next step to consider.]" The SCI sent the attached letter to the GNSO Council for consideration on its Dublin meeting agenda (along with the other letter on resubmissions/waivers). There the Council acknowledged the two letters, but it is unclear whether the summary provided by the SCI was separately considered as to accuracy. GNSO Officer Elections At its meeting on 19 November the GNSO Council approved a motion for the SCI to review the issue of GNSO officer elections. The motion stated, "The GNSO Council requests the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) 1. To review Sections 2.2(b), (f) and (g) of the GNSO Operating Procedures with respect to clarifying: (i) the eligibility of incoming Council members to run for the position of GNSO Chair; (ii) the start and end dates and the duration of the Chair and Vice-Chair terms in accordance with the ICANN Bylaws; and (iii) the timing of publication of the election results; and 2. To recommend a general time table for election of the GNSO Council Chair to be approved by the GNSO Council and added to the GNSO Operating Procedures." 2.
