Very helpful, Mary. Thank you. RA Ron Andruff www.lifedotsport.com  -------- Original message -------- From: Mary.Wong@law.unh.edu Date: To: gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org Subject: RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Actions: SCI Meeting 07 April 2013 Hi Anne, I don't know if this will help but I got a few "clarifying questions" (heheh) from members about how it would work, so I created the following explanation. Feel free to use/circulate! Alternative #1: Leave the decision whether to accept the re-submission and place it on the Council's agenda up to the Chair of the GNSO Council OR Alternative #2.  Comply with ALL the following criteria, in the following order: 1. Re-submitting Councilor must provide the reasoning to justify the resubmission of a motion, no later than the usual deadline for submitting an original motion --  8 days prior to  the next GNSO Council meeting. 2. The text of the re-submitted motion must be published, no later than the usual deadline for submitting an original motion --  8 days prior to  the next GNSO Council meeting. 3. The re-submitted motion must have a seconder from each house as a prerequisite for placing the procedural question of accepting the re-submission on the consent agenda at the next GNSO Council meeting. 4. Any Councilor can ask for the acceptance of re-submission to be taken off the consent agenda -- in which case the question whether or not the re-submission should even go through goes automatically to a Council vote on whether to accept it. NOTE: All this is just to decide if the act of re-submission itself is accepted -- the actual substance of the motion does not get discussed, or put to a vote, until the re-submission is accepted. CONTEXT: At a recent Council meeting, a motion was voted on and defeated because two Councilors abstained without realizing that an abstention under the GNSO Council rules is automatically deemed to be a No vote. The question then became whether the motion could be re-submitted and re-voted on, at which point it became clear that the GNSO Council rules and procedures do NOT currently have a process in place to deal with the question. The SCI was therefore asked to look at the issue and recommend such a process.
