Nigel, The changes to the procedures document mentioned by Byron include a statement to the effect that the committee can continue, but with a limited remit - it can only process the monthly reports from the PTI and not perform "other work". In addition, when there are vacancies, all decisions (i.e.., to approve the report) will have to be unanimous. In addition, and AFAIK, the process to fill the vacancies is moving along nicely, so I look forward to welcoming new members shortly. Best regards, /Liman Nigel.Cassimire@ctu.int:
Dear All,
I didn’t see any feedback re my comments in the message below. Are these non-issues?

Dear All,
I’m not a member and I also unfortunately missed the last meeting so I don’t know if this was discussed, but I wonder:
- Does the CSC continue to function and could a meeting be quorate if there are 3 vacancies among the members?
- Was there discussion of any requirement for a minimum number of members, say, 2? Regards, Nigel C.

Dear colleagues, As you will recall, I committed to drafting some suggested text for our internal procedure to capture our discussion with respect to the need to ensure the basic business of the CSC could continue in the event one or more seats of the four (4) members are vacant. After looking at the procedures again: I suggest that we amend section 5.2 ( the quorum) rule to:
A CSC meeting shall be quorate if the 4 (four) Members are present at the meeting. In the exceptional circumstance where there are one or more vacancies in the Members, the CSC meeting shall be quorate if all appointed Members are present. The notes will state if the meeting was quorate, or, if only quorate for a part of the meeting, state which items of business were discussed when quorate. This internal rule will be reviewed in conjunction with the first review of the CSC charter. In addition, and to capture the limitation in the power to take decisions, I also suggest to amend section 6.1 ( decision-making at meetings) and 6.2 decision-making by email by adding the following line: In the exceptional circumstance where there are one or more vacancies in the Members, the decision-making of the CSC shall be limited to and not go beyond the approval of the CSC’s monthly report. For your reference I have include a redline version of the Internal procedure. If there are no objections by the other members by 28 September 23.59 UTC, I will consider the proposed changes adopted,
