Dear SCI members,
The SCI members on the call on 23 July (Avri Doria, Amr Elsadr, Angie Graves, Lori Schulman, Ken Stubbs, and Rudi Vansnick (Vice Chair)) discussed the issue of whether the waiver of the 10-day deadline for submitting motions should apply to resubmitted motions. After some discussion there was consensus of the members on the call with the suggestion from Wolf-Ulrich Knoben on the list that the SCI should not recommend a change to the GNSO Operating Procedures at this time with respect to this issue. However, they agreed that the SCI should send a response to the Council emphasizing that after a review of the GNSO Operating Procedures it is clear that the waiver of the 10-day deadline for submission of motions does not apply to resubmitted motions. The SCI also could note in its response that although changes are not recommended at this time, the SCI could revisit the issue if requested by the Council and, specifically, if there is a contentious issue that warrants it.
The SCI members on the call also agreed that it would be better not to send the response to the GNSO Council until the SCI has decided how to address the second issue, which concerns the current informal customs relating to amendments to motions. This would enable the SCI to send its recommendations concerning both issues to the Council at the same time.
Please indicate on the list whether you agree with this approach, particularly those SCI members who were not on the call on 23 July.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Best regards, Julie
Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
