Thanks Marika for this.
1. As you have already established wiki pages for the subteams I'd like to encourage all participants to make intensive use of it. It may be helpful to have all drafts as Word Docs available for online amendment purposes.
Well if you mean exporting a wiki into a doc file, ok. wikis are not the best tool but they are better than passing doc files around. But if you mean saving doc files and doing regular old fashion equential word editing, that would be a waste of the wiki capability.
2. Marika, could you please circulate the updated subteam list giving a chance to other volunteers for joining?
3. Re Consent Agenda I wonder whether in the penultimate para the last sentence could read "Then the chair calls for a vote on each item". (BTW that was my misunderstanding that I referred the vote to the consent agenda itself and not to the agenda items).
Best regards Wolf-Ulrich

Dear All,
Please find below the notes of last week's SCI meeting. In addition, please find attached an updated version of the proposed consent agenda language in which I've aimed to incorporate the different points raised during the meeting. Also, dedicated wiki pages have been created for the different sub-teams (see https://community.icann.org/x/LIHg). If there are any additional volunteers for any of the sub-teams, please let me know. Please note that we still need to modify the permissions for the wiki space so that everyone has the appropriate editing capabilities (hopefully this will get taken care off in the next couple of days).
The next SCI meeting is scheduled for 17 May at 19.00 UTC.
With best regards,
Marika

Proposed Agenda
1. Roll call
2. Statements of Interest
3. Status of work teams on
- Consent agenda
- Deferral of motions
- Threshold rules needed for delaying a PDP
- GNSO Council Voting Results Table
- Proxy voting procedure
4. WG Survey
5. AOB
- SOI (raised by Evan Leibovitch)
Notes
Administrative Items
- Additional participants needed for consent agenda item and voting results table (Avri willing to join sub-team if needed. Wolf also willing to move from deferral to GNSO Council Voting Results Table)
- Mary volunteered for Proxy Voting Procedures
- Additional item regarding SOI raised by Evan Leibovitch - raises the question who may raise issues with the SCI (currently only GNSO Council or WGs can raise issues with the SCI according to the Charter)
- Circulate sub-team list to the mailing list to see if there are additional volunteers
- Develop wiki pages for sub-teams and consider using google docs to work collaboratively on items.
Consent Agenda
- Clarify terminology re. Council leadership / Chair / Vice-Chairs
- Consider excluding PDP related item as well as recommendations to the Board from the consent agenda
- What happens to items that are removed from the consent agenda, do they end up on the normal agenda or move on to the next meeting? Should it be clarified in the proposed draft?
- What is the deadline for making supporting documents availabe in suficient time (is that the 8-day deadline)? Consider clarifying that this is the timeline that applies or referring to the applicable place in the operating procedures that addresses timing.
- What kind of vote is taken? Simple majority? How to deal with items that have a different voting threshold associated with it? Doesn't the same voting threshold apply as for other items? Consent agenda is intended to expedite adminstrative manners, items that need further discussion end up on normal agenda. Consider excluding all items that have a voting threshold associated with it that is not simple majority (addresses concern over voting thresholds as well as items that should not be eligible for consent agenda).
Deferral of motions
- Ron and Angie to take the lead on this item
- Review historic data received from GNSO secretariat
Voting Threshold Rules for Delaying a PDP
- See staff paper on this issue
Proxy Voting Procedure
- See proposal circulated by Wolf
- Put at the top of the agenda for the next meeting
Update of GNSO council Voting Results
- Add 'only for significant cause' to terminating a PDP
- Include reference to Bylaws to clarify meaning of certain voting thresholds
- Share Word version of document with Anne
