Bladel:US: 866-692-5726 Passcode SCI Jennifer Wolfe 2:Thank you! Amr Elsadr:Just dialled in. Hi. Julie Hedlund:Thanks Amr! Amr Elsadr:Avri can't make it today. Amr Elsadr:Yup. On a plane. Nathalie Peregrine:Yes, Avri is an apology Angie Graves:I am Ron's alternate--will be glad to run mtg if need be Ron A:Thanks for pitching in, Angie...;o) Mike O'Connor:Bladel's a registrar Amr Elsadr:The council member didn't vote at all thinking he had a COI. Amr Elsadr:..., then realizing he didn't. Marika Konings:@ Anne - apologies for simplifying the scenario. Marika Konings:@Anne - who would make that evaluation? Marika Konings:whether the motion is the same or different? Mike O'Connor:James -- Here's the one that dropped off the list as of June - 4) Allow a councilor to ask for the re-submission of the motion to betaken off the consent agenda and to request a Council vote on whether toaccept the re-submission. Julie Hedlund:@Anne: Do you have some language to suggest? Anne Aikman-Scalese:@Ron - it's two resubmissions, not three Ron A:Thanks Anne, that is my understanding Mary Wong:Just a note: the original problem that created this issue was how to prevent any person/group from resubmitting an identical motion in order to change the outcome of a previous vote. That may be narrower than what the discussion is about right now. Greg Shatan:Why is that a problem? Amr Elsadr:Got disconnected. Mike O'Connor:kudos to Anne for working that one! Nathalie Peregrine:Amr, would you like a dial out Amr Elsadr:Sorry about that. Am now on the call again. Anne Aikman-Scalese:Thanks Mikey Amr Elsadr:I'll send my comment to the list. Ron A:Amr are you now back on the call? Is your hand up? Amr Elsadr:Yes and yes. :) Ron A:Thank you. Julie Hedlund:To Amr's point, this is what Avri sent to the SCI list yesterday on this issue: One of the things that I got out of the GNSO discussion was that even if we maintain the full consensus vote threshholder for an SCI recommendation, that does not mean that the group can't decide to send a deadlock report to the council if that were to happen. I think this report would still require full consensus agreement, but I do not see that as a problem as long as everyone's viewpoint was accurately portrayed. Amr Elsadr:Is anything expected of us on this topic at this point?? Julie Hedlund:@Amr: I think the Council expects the SCI to send its revision of the charter, but without making changes to the decision-making procedure. Amr Elsadr:@Julie..., that's what I gathered. ..., unfortunate though, because it seems Council will make some sort of decision on this which will be reflected in the SCI's new charter. Marika Konings:@Amr - that is the privilege of the chartering organization ;-) Amr Elsadr:@Marika: True... :) ..., I still wish we could have agreed as a group to give a unified recommendation. Amr Elsadr:@Mikey: I put one in too. :) Amr Elsadr:It's a big WG. :) Amr Elsadr:I'll reach out to a few as well. Jennifer Wolfe:I apologize I have to jump onto a 4 p.m. call. I look forward to continuing the discussion in email and in our next meeting. Ron A:Thank you jennifer Anne Aikman-Scalese:@Ron - I also have a 1:00 pm conference call AZ time and will drop off but hopefully Greg can stay on and let me know about the rest of the discussion. I will be sure to propose alternative language in relation to Resubmssion of a Motion. Thank you everyone . Anne Bladel:Thanks, Ron & Team! Amr Elsadr:Thanks everyone. Bye. Wolf Knoben:By all! Wolf Knoben:I mean Bye Julie Hedlund:Goodbye everyone!
