Thanks Marika, Second phrase in the draft says: "All items that are not subject to a simple majority vote (see ICANN Bylaws, Article X, section 3-9) or are subject to absentee voting (see section 4.4. of the GNSO Operating Procedures) are not eligible for inclusion in the consent agenda." Two questions: 1. Why don't we refer to the GNSO concil votings results table (which make reference to the bylaws, too)? 2. Excluding items from the consent agenda I understand we're here referring to items only which need a council vote. In other words: it should be clear that items not needing a council vote are not excluded.

Juni 2012 15:59 An: gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org Betreff: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] For final review - consent agenda Dear All, As discussed during the SCI meeting last week, please find attached for final review the latest version of the proposed language for the consent agenda. As a reminder, this issue was discussed extensively at the SCI meeting of 3 May (see notes of the meeting here: https://community.icann.org/x/JMTbAQ) and the language as originally proposed by J. Scott was updated accordingly (see http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-improvem-impl-sc/msg00172.html). The SCI intends to finalize this language at its next meeting, so if you have any objections and/or suggestions, please share those with the mailing list as soon as possible. With best regards, Marika
