Thank you for this update and call for action, Julie. I have read through the documentation and am satisfied with all that has been presented. I would ask that the committee members review and comment by Friday, March 14th, if they have anything they wish to bring up. Should you receive no comments that will be deemed as approval to send this on to Council as you have detailed. Kind regards, RA Ron Andruff RNA Partners <http://www.rnapartners.com> www.rnapartners.com From: owner-gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org [mailto:owner-gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org] On Behalf Of Julie Hedlund Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 13:49 To: gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] URGENT: Draft Motion for Approval of Revised GNSO Operating Procedures Importance: High Dear SCI members, As you may recall, the proposed revisions to the GNSO Operating Procedures to address resubmission of motions and working group self assessment were put out for public comment on 10 February. See http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/gnso-op-procedures-10feb14-en.ht m. As no comments were received the forum was closed on 03 March at the end of the 21-day comment period because there was no need to move to the reply comment period. The next step is for the SCI to submit a motion for consideration by the GNSO Council for approval of the revisions. The motion would be made by Avri Doria, as she is the SCI Liaison to the Council. Note that the motion deadline for the GNSO Council meeting in Singapore on 26 March is Saturday, 15 March. Please find the attached draft motion for your consideration along with the redline of the GNSO Operating Procedures. Please let us know if you have any changes. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
