Thanks Angie and Amr.  Just to be clear, and unless I am corrected by staff, we are making sure in the Consensus Call that SCI representatives have either (1) reviewed the issue with their respective SOs/ACs and obtained approval or that (2) they have been delegated authority to express approval by their SOs and ACs without further consultation.

 

I am only raising this because in each case, you have said “I think” and “I agree”.  Can you please confirm you are acting on behalf of your constituencies/stakeholder groups?

Thank you,

Anne

Further, after lengthy discussion of the possible issues, the SCI is reluctant to make any recommendations to change the current status of the Operating Procedures given that no instance of a problem arising in this regard has occurred.   The SCI also notes that although changes to the GNSO Operating Procedures are not recommended at this time, the SCI could revisit the issue if requested by the Council and, specifically, if there is a contentious issue that warrants further analysis.
