Dear Anne and SCI members, I've copied below the text of the message I sent on 23 July summarizing the discussion on the last SCI call with respect to the issue of whether the waiver applies to resubmitted motions. Kind regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

Sent on 23 July 2015 to the SCI list:

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

Thanks Rudi. I certainly appreciate your assistance in chairing the last call. We will miss you but have a good trip. If you have further thoughts on any of the topics below, please advise!

With respect to agenda, I think that in addition to the normal roll call and updating of SOIs, we should

(a)recap our present recommendation that the Operating Procedures be amended to clarify that resubmitted motions are not eligible for waiver of the 10 day advance submission rule. Will staff please remind us what the proposed clarifying language for the Operating Procedures is for this recommendation?

(b) discuss timeline for developing our recommendations on (a) above and the issue of amendments to motions ­ all with a view toward producing recommendations in Dublin if feasible. If not feasible, develop an alternative timeline for this work.

(b) Take up further discussion regarding amendments to motions. In this regard, I had circulated a few thoughts on the list after listening to the mp3 from the last call . My e-mail of August 12 is attached for your consideration prior to Thursday¹s call.

Thanks everyone for your participation in SCI. Anne
