I
thought Wolf-Ulrich was saying “do not send a letter to Council” and saying we
should just keep working on our Charter and our own recommendations as to the
full consensus issue.
This
approach makes sense to me. Wolf, is that what you were
saying?

RE: FOR REVIEW: Draft Email to Jonathan

Thank
you for this input, Wolf-Ulrich.
Two
things:
1. Can
you advise as to when you think the open questions within Council and Jeff’s
documentation will be reviewed and determinations made?
2. Can
you add your edits to the draft letter that I will submit to the GNSO Council
Chair?
At
this point, I think it is important that everyone understands clearly who is
expected to do which activity so that the SCI can deal with this matter
appropriately.
Thank
you very much.
Kind
regards,
RA

All,
since I could not
attend the last call I can’t see a reason to ask the council whether they intend
to take on the charter revision or not – they definitely don’t like to do this
work.
The council shall only
discuss what’s going to be suggested by the SCI, maybe alternate charter
proposals re full consensus.
There shall be –
hopefully – an exchange on the council list following the Durban wrap-up. But it
will take a little time since the action list has just been delivered and people
are on holiday. The exchange could then been used as additional input for the
SCI work.
So my suggestion is to
continue our SCI chartering work (on the basis that the SCI shall continue as
“standing”) and not pinging forward and backward with the voting question.
Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich

[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] RE: FOR REVIEW: Draft Email to Jonathan

I
believe the letter should be revised in the last paragraph as shown
here:
At
yesterday's meeting, SCI members expressed an interest in further revising the
Charter to ensure that the role of 'standing committee' is clear, to update it
to include procedures for the election of SCI Chair and Vice-Chair, and to
revise the decision-making process if
directed to do so by the
Council.
In this regard, it should be noted that there are SCI members who believe the
“full consensus” process is beneficial for a group of this type. The SCI
would be happy to brief the Council on the Charter and Consensus issues if so
requested.
However, if the Council, as the Chartering organization, would prefer to take on
the task of revising the charter, it would be helpful if it could inform the SCI
accordingly. In either case it seems clear that it will be helpful to have
a revised Charter available as soon as possible. The SCI stands ready to
assist in this task in whatever way the Council deems appropriate.

GNSO Council Durban Wrap-Up Session and SCI Charter
Dear
Jonathan,
I
understand that the GNSO Council discussed the SCI Charter revisions at its
Wrap-Up Session in Durban on Thursday 18 July. At its meeting yesterday,
the SCI members discussed the outcomes from that session and decided that it
would be helpful to seek additional guidance from the Council with respect to
the next steps for the SCI Charter. In particular, based on the discussion
in Durban, it seems clear that the GNSO Council would like the SCI to continue
as a 'standing committee' and would like the Charter to reflect that
role.
Also
at the Wrap-Up Session the GNSO Council discussed the SCI process for
decision-making (full consensus versus Standard Methodology for Making
Decisions). The SCI understands that the Council agreed to consider this
issue further on its mailing list and Council members were encouraged to share
their views in support of one or the other option. Jeff Neuman also offered to
provide background information as to why the SCI was initially required to
operate under full consensus.
At
yesterday's meeting SCI members expressed an interest in further revising the
Charter to ensure that the role of 'standing committee' is clear, to update it
to include procedures for the election of SCI Chair and Vice-Chair, and to
revise the decision-making process if
directed to do so by the
Council.
In this regard, it should be noted that there are SCI members who believe the
“full consensus” process is beneficial for a group of this type. The SCI
would be happy to brief the Council on the Charter and Consensus issues if so
requested.
However, if the Council, as the Chartering organization, would prefer to take on
the task of revising the charter, it would be helpful if it could inform the SCI
accordingly. In either case it seems clear that it will be helpful to have
a revised Charter available as soon as possible. The SCI stands ready to
assist in this task in whatever way the Council deems appropriate.
We
await your guidance.
Best
regards,
Ron
