Please let me know if you have any questions or clarifications. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Notes/Actions: Status update on community review -- consent agenda & the GNSO Council Voting Results -- Initial period has closed; reply period opened 31 July and closes 20 August -- One comment from Registries SG ACTION: Staff will provide analysis tool and SCI will consider the comments and replies when the forum closes. Proxy Voting Procedure Proposed: no change to procedure, request new method for notification of both Secretariat and Council -- Staff have confirmed that this can be done -- SCI can recommend the change to the Council with a short explanation ACTION: Julie to provide bullet points to Wolf-Ulrich Deferral of Motions Ron -- Talked about circulating a motion before it is submitted. If a deferral arises we would allow only 1 deferral or 2. I think we should come back and monitor it in a year. -- Wolf-Ulrich -- Do we need criteria for monitoring? What numbers would we use? -- Ron -- If people are starting to abuse it then we could set a rule for 1 deferral. Put this to a vote on the SCI: whether or not to create a rule or just monitor it for a year. ACTION: Ron with Julie to draft a message. Voting Thresholds for Delaying a PDP -- Language from staff on suspention -- Angie: "warranting a suspension" seems too vague -- Ron: Was it the deferral of a PDP relating to the VeriSign contract the reason for this issue being raised? Need to clarify this. -- James: When we originally discussed this it was designed to be used in rare circumstances. -- Anne: Was the issue of suspension considered in the previous PDP? -- James: We weren't specific to GNSO PDPs, but were looking at the organization that initiate the PDP would have the authority to terminate it. ACTION: Ask SCI members to comment on the language on the list and look to the wiki where comments are posted. Raising an issue - Has this been sufficiently clarified - currently needs to come from g-council or from a WG -- Ron: Why would we not take anyone's issue up? -- Julie: SCI Charter says requests can only come from the Council or an organization chartered by the Council -- need to clarify the scope. ACTION: Mary to draft with J Scott. a letter to the GNSO Council to ask for clarfication with respect to the meaning of hte charter (clarify the scope) Status update on Working Group survey -- Save for next time. Next Meeting: 30th of August at the same time.
