Adobe Chat Transcript 13 May 2014
Terri Agnew:Dear all, welcome to the SCI meeting on the 13th of May 2014 at 19:00 UTC
Ron A:Hi all. Just dialing in now.
Wolf-Ulrich:same to me
Greg Shatan:I am in....
Julie Hedlund:@Ron: We are missing the Registrar and Registry SGs.
Julie Hedlund:Note a correction to my last statement: Jennifer Standiford has joined the call from the Registrar SG.
Ron A:Thanks Julie. Welcome Jennifer.
Jennifer Standiford:hello
Terri Agnew:Jennifer I have added you to attendance
Jennifer Standiford:Thank you Terri
Avri Doria:i do not undersran d why this is necessary.
Avri Doria:as submitted motions are motions and thus subject to the rule as it stands.
Terri Agnew:Cintra Sooknanan has joined
Avri Doria:it is not necessary. a resubmitted morion is a motion
Avri Doria:a motion is a motion
Mary Wong:Perhaps a simpler clarifying sentence to say this Section can also apply to motions Resubmitted under 4.3.3?
Avri Doria:so insteqd of fessing up to amistke, which i dont think it was, we put complicated lanauge in another section?
Avri Doria:but once the submission rules are ammended, that ammendment applies to all submissions.
Avri Doria:it wouldbe done in the context of waiver changes.
Avri Doria:let me reread the offending sesubmission langauge. just need to find the full text url.
Mary Wong:@Avri, here it is: "Explanation: The Councilor submitting the motion must also submit an explanation for the resubmission of the motion. The explanation need not accompany the motion when it is resubmitted; however, the explanation must be submitted no later than the deadline for submitting the motion (i.e., no later than 23h59 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on the day 10 calendar days before the Council meeting at which the motion is to be reconsidered). The explanation does not need to meet any requirements other than being submitted in a timely manner."
Mary Wong:Thanks, Greg.
Avri Doria:i would prefer to see the pranthetical removed
Cintra Sooknanan:how long does the asynchronous vote stay open?
Cintra Sooknanan:before the vote/poll is closed
Avri Doria:we called it voting outdide of a meeting.
Avri Doria:Cintra, that would be a technical issue we did not predetemrined.
Cintra Sooknanan:sorry that term just stuck :)
Mary Wong:@Avri, it's in Section 4 of this draft.
Cintra Sooknanan:important not to prejudice voters in different time zones
Mary Wong:Suggest 72 hours (to match absentee voting)?
Avri Doria:discussion at this point.
Cintra Sooknanan:i like mary's suggestion for 72 hrs
Ron A:I like matching an existing policy as well, re 72 hours.
Mary Wong:Can also go a step further, to fully match the Absentee Voting timelines, allow shortening to 24 hours or expanding to 7 calendar days at Council leadership's discretion and/or in exceptional circumstances.
Avri Doria:point 1 gives cases, as examples
Cintra Sooknanan:question: would the topic under vote be allowed to continue to be discussed during the voting period? or will the discussion be brought to a close prior to the vote announcement?
Avri Doria:don't see why people would ever need to stop talking.
Cintra Sooknanan:technically could 'prejudice' the vote and also not the same rule as meeting vote
Mary Wong:Sorry - my cursor took on a mind of its own for a second there!
Avri Doria:well, we certainly talk in chats rooms while the vote is going on. i bet there is also talking on the AC during votes.
Cintra Sooknanan:hrmm...fair point.
Cintra Sooknanan:Avri is the vote contemplated by the subgroup to be a one off vote or are voters allowed to change their vote during the voting period?
Mary Wong:I believe current absentee voting only allows a Councilor one shot at one vote so that will not change, I think.
Cintra Sooknanan:ok thanks Mary
Julie Hedlund:@Mary: It was sent to the list on 30 April.
Julie Hedlund:Anne Aikman-Scalese said on the list that the IPC supports the language on 06 May.
Mary Wong:@Ron, I absolutely didn't mean to come across as chastising you :)
Julie Hedlund:On 07 May Amr Elsader said that the NCUC supports it.
Ron A:No issues Mary. We all need to do our parts.
Cintra Sooknanan:agree with Greg... there needs to be a holistic review
Julie Hedlund:Apologies everyone -- I have to drop off to lead an SSAC call.
Cintra Sooknanan:the issues were raised in our drafts,
Cintra Sooknanan:we had to make a uturn based on objections on the call
Thomas Rickert:Thanks Ron, Thanks all! Bye! Thomas
Cintra Sooknanan:bye everyoen
