[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Agenda for SCI call on 5 August

[Mary Wong]

Dear SCI members,

Although this is pretty obvious, proper process requires that an agenda be
sent around prior to a meeting :) As such, here is the proposed agenda for
the next SCI call scheduled for Tuesday 5 August:

1. Roll Call/Updates to SOI
2. Discuss and finalize Electronic Voting language (last circulated on 31
July, pending further edits by Greg and any other SCI member)
3. Next steps/next meeting
As a reminder, we have not yet circulated the SCI-finalized language on
Waiver of the 10-day Motion Deadline, on the understanding that a formal
consensus call will be conducted for both that and the finalized E-Voting
language at the same time.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

>> All:
>>  
>> I am raising a process question with regard to the Electronic Voting language
>> as it currently stands.  Unlike the 10-day Waiver rule proposal and the
>> resubmission proposal (among others), the Electronic Voting language is not
>> currently drafted in the form of a rule that can be ³dropped into² the
>> Operating Procedures.  Instead, it is more of a statement of principles
>> (although it has tightened up quite a bit through various drafts).
>>  
>> If we send it out for public comment and review in this form, wouldn¹t we

>> review, and then (unless there are no issues raised with the drafting of the
>> rule), wouldn¹t we need to revise it again to put it in the form of a final
>> rule for a third round of Consensus Call/public comment/GNSO Council review
>> before it can be adopted?
>>  
>> Would it make sense to revise the Electronic Voting language so that it is
>> the form of a rule, which could eliminate a round of review and get the rule
>> ³on the books² faster?  (Given the evolution of the document, I think we are
>> already halfway there.)  Or is the issue sufficiently complex that it should
>> be reviewed by the community ³in principle² first, before we turn it into a
>> rule?  Or am I missing something relating to process and procedures?

>> 
>> We will, as per usual practice, also notify and consult with ICANN Legal on
