Dear SCI members, On today's call it was agreed that there should be a "last call" for the review of the options on raising an issue. Based on the discussion in Toronto and in today's meeting it appears that there is consensus around option number 1 — maintaining the status quo. See the details below and on the wiki at: http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-improvem-impl-sc/msg00390.html. Please respond by **Friday, 09 November COB** as to whether you favor option 1 or another option. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] For your review - raising an issue options * To: "gnso-improvem-impl-sc@xxxxxxxxx" <gnso-improvem-impl-sc@xxxxxxxxx> * Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] For your review - raising an issue options * From: Marika Konings <marika.konings@xxxxxxxxx> * Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2012 03:32:13 -0700 ________________________________ Dear All, In relation to the agenda item 'Raising an issue - Has this been sufficiently clarified', three possible approaches were identified during the last meeting: 1. Maintain status quo - which means only the GNSO Council or a group chartered by the GNSO Council can request an item to be reviewed by the SCI. Possibly consider communicating to other SO/ACs / individuals, that if there are issues they would like to see reviewed by the SCI, that they will need to channel these via the GNSO Council and/or a group chartered by the GNSO Council. 2. Add the possibility for other ICANN SO/ACs to make a direct request to the SCI – this would require a change to the SCI Charter and would need GNSO Council approval. 3. Add the possibility for any chartered group to make a direct request to the SCI – this would require a change to the SCI Charter and would need GNSO Council approval. Some also noted that a definition of 'chartered' would be needed as it is not clear whether SO/ACs are chartered. Members are encouraged to share their views on these three options and/or identify any other options that should be considered to address thisissue ahead of the next meeting. With best regards, Marika
