Dear SCI members,

This is a reminder of the action item on re-submitting a motion.  The action item is as follows:

1. Re-submitting a motion: ISPC, BC, NCUC are supportive thus far of the suggested way forward if 1 (leave up to discretion of the chair) is removed; awaiting responses from other groups. 

The options for review are listed below.

Best regards,
Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

Possible Options for Addressing the Re-Submission of a Motion:

1.  Leave up to discretion of the Chair

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.
