From julie.hedlund at icann.org Mon Dec 1 19:48:40 2014 From: julie.hedlund at icann.org (Julie Hedlund) Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2014 19:48:40 +0000 Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] REMINDER: Election/Selection of Chair and Vice Chair for 2015 Message-ID: Dear SCI members, This is a reminder that per the SCI Charter, each December the SCI has to nominate, select and (if necessary) elect a Chair and Vice Chair for the following year. Only primary members of the SCI (i.e. no alternates) are eligible to stand for either position. Per the Charter, the Chair and Vice Chair shall serve for a 1-year term with the option to continue for a second 1-year term. Ron Andruff has served two 1-year terms and thus is term-limited and cannot continue in the position in 2015. The SCI therefore needs at least one volunteer/nominee for Chair for 2015. If there is more than one nominee/volunteer for Chair, the Charter prescribes how an election will then be run: https://community.icann.org/x/L4Hg Cintra Sooknanan will have served served 1 term as Vice Chair as of the end of 2014 and is eligible to continue for a second 1-year term. For the avoidance of doubt, time served as Vice Chair shall not prohibit the Vice Chair from serving as Chair. If there is more than one nominee/volunteer for Vice Chair an election will be run as per the Charter. Interested SCI members should volunteer or submit nominations for either the Chair or Vice Chair position. Please send all candidate nominations (including self-nominations) to this list not later than **Friday, 05 December.** Thank you very much for your consideration.

I am personally working on making one, but would like some time to confer with the NCUC membership first. Thanks.

Only primary members of the SCI (i.e. no alternates) are eligible to stand for either position. Per the Charter, the Chair and Vice Chair shall serve for a 1-year term with the option to continue for a second 1-year term. Ron Andruff has served two 1-year terms and thus is term-limited and cannot continue in the position in 2015. The SCI therefore needs at least one volunteer/nominee for Chair for 2015. If there is more than one nominee/volunteer for Chair, the Charter prescribes how an election will then be run: https://community.icann.org/x/L4Hg Cintra Sooknanan will have served served 1 term as Vice Chair as of the end of 2014 and is eligible to continue for a second 1-year term. For the avoidance of doubt, time served as Vice Chair shall not prohibit the Vice Chair from serving as Chair. If there is more than one nominee/volunteer for Vice Chair an election will be run as per the Charter. Interested SCI members should volunteer or submit nominations for either the Chair or Vice Chair position.

I look forward to continuing to work with all of you and thank you for your vote of confidence. Unless others have a different thought, I believe we should focus on a letter to GNSO Council outlining projects that were summarized by Ron in the LA meeting that may be useful to them and submitting the letter as a request for further direction regarding priorities for next year. I will get with Julie to schedule a call in January. Please reply to all with your comments regarding the bullet points/SCI priorities that should be mentioned in the letter to Council. My goal will be to draft a letter and present it for discussion by SCI in a January call. It would be good if we could present the letter to Council in sufficient time before Singapore to permit discussion by Council in that meeting. Finally, simply put, Ron is a hard act to follow so please help me with any advice you feel appropriate to maintain the fine working relationship that he and Wolf-Ulrich have established between Council and SCI over the past several years.

Here are two potential work items that I would like to suggest as priorities for 2015: 1. *Clarifying that a "Resubmitted Motion" is Eligible for Waiver of the 10-day Deadline for Submission of a Motion*. Due to some drafting inconsistencies between sections of the GNSO Council Operating Procedure, it was left unclear whether a "resubmitted motion" could be submitted less than 10 days before a meeting accompanied by a request for waiver of the 10-day deadline. Either resubmitted motions should be treated the same as other motions on this score (recognizing that there are other hurdles that resubmitted motions may have to face), or resubmitted motions are ineligible for waiver (which would lead to delay in consideration of the motion and/or calling o special session of the GNSO Council. This should be clarified, and the necessary amendments to the GNSO Operating Procedures should be made. 2. *Clarifying and Formalizing the Council's Procedure Regarding "Friendly Amendments**."* "Friendly amendments" are not mentioned in the GNSO Council Operating Procedure. As such, the Council's current use of friendly amendments is based at best on "oral tradition." Based on my research, there is no one generally accepted definition or treatment of " friendly amendments." First, there appear to be two approaches to defining what a "friendly amendment" is: a. The more common approach is that *a**n amendment that changes the meaning of the original motion generally cannot be considered "F**riendly,*" under any circumstances. Friendly amendments should only clarify or enhance the original motion. If a motion is not clearly friendly, the question of whether it qualifies as friendly should be opened to the floor. b. Alternately,* any amendment will be considered "Friendly," *if the member proposing it says it is, without any opportunity for discussion or objection Second, once the amendment there appear to be three basic approaches to handling motions defined as "Friendly": x. *No Friendly Amendments.* This is the position in Robert's Rules of Order, applied strictly. Any amendment to a motion must be discussed and voted on separately from the (unamended) motion. As one commentator explained "Once a motion has been made, seconded, and stated by the chair, it belongs to the group as a whole, not to the individual who first proposed it. It is the group as a whole that must accept or reject any proposed amendment, whatever the intent of the proposer. The maker of the motion, and the seconder, have the same rights as the other members of the group ? no more and no less." y. *If the Movant and Second (of the original motion) approve and there is no objection from the floor, the motion is amended automatically. (Variation: there must be full consensus on the amendment for the motion to be amended automatically*.*)* If there is any objection (or lack of consensus) by any member, the amendment must be discussed and voted on separately from the motion. z. *To be Friendly, the Movant and Second of the original motion must approve; if they approve, the motion is amended automatically.* The unamended motion disappears and is replaced by the amended motion, without any discussion of or opportunity to vote on the original motion, and without any discussion about whether the amendment is appropriate. Based on recent practice, it appears that the GNSO Council falls into the last category in each list (i.e., (b) and (z)), but there is no evidence that this was a conscious decision. I believe that a somewhat more restrictive approach is appropriate -- basically (a) and (y) above. The SCI should consider this and then clarify and formalize GNSO treatment to avoid confusion and potential gaming.

I think this is an accurate description, and I second that options ?a? and ?y? should be explored as formalised procedures to friendly amendments. Another detail we would need to hash out to achieve this is actually also formalising the role of a seconder to a motion in the operating procedures. Although this is customary in the GNSO Council, there is no mention of a requirement for a seconding of any motion currently documented (unless I?ve missed it somewhere). Thanks.

Staff will update it to reflect the items recently approved by the Council. If the SCI wants to give the Council time to consider a letter at their meeting on the 15th as a courtesy you might want to have it to the Council by January 5th, which is the deadline for motions and documents. However, this may not be possible since it wouldn't allow time for SCI members to discuss a letter during a call, and members also are likely to be out during the next two weeks for holidays so they may not be able to make much progress on the list. In addition, the ICANN offices are closed beginning at Noon on 24 December through Friday, 2 January 2015. They will reopen on 5 January.

The upcoming Singapore meeting is also going to largely focus on the transition and accountability discussions, with consequently fewer session slots available for individual WG or committee meetings. The SCI may therefore want to consider these factors in its evaluation of whether, when and what might be the most helpful to furthering the GNSO?s work for 2015.

My question is whether a January 13 call would be sufficient time for SCI to have a discussion leading to preparation of the letter to Council based on projects we have considered in the past and that Ron and Greg have outlined. I do not think that SCI work should stop due to the IANA transition issues. One question might be how SCI can best help GNSO in addressing these issues. For example, if SCI reviews PDP consensus levels on a more thorough basis than previously examined, would that improve ICANN Accountability as it relates to the transition? Do these consensus levels or any other aspect of the PDP process have a significant impact on accountability? So from my point of view, Question 1 is: Can we schedule a call as late as January 13 and still get Avri 15 minutes on the GNSO Council schedule to discuss SCI direction for 2015? Question 2: What work is within SCI's Charter that will assist Council the most in relation to the IANA transition and overall ICANN Accountability? I would propose to discuss these questions in a January 13 call to be scheduled by Julie. As to whether we can get on the Council schedule in working sessions in Singapore for this purpose, I think we need to rely on Avri and Glen for that purpose. Avri, your thoughts?

Please also see the wiki on the Work Completed/In Progress at: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=49350790. Staff will update it to reflect the items recently approved by the Council. If the SCI wants to give the Council time to consider a letter at their meeting on the 15th as a courtesy you might want to have it to the Council by January 5th, which is the deadline for motions and documents. However, this may not be possible since it wouldn't allow time for SCI members to discuss a letter during a call, and members also are likely to be out during the next two weeks for holidays so they may not be able to make much progress on the list. In addition, the ICANN offices are closed beginning at Noon on 24 December through Friday, 2 January 2015. They will reopen on 5 January. We can certainly schedule a meeting at the usual time on the 6th to kick things off. Let us know if you would like us to schedule a meeting on the 6th.

This new provision looks quite useful in these circumstances. Nice to know. I'll be out of the office all next week but am looking at the correspondence between you and Greg. Ron and Julie, could the two of you recap the projects Ron presented to Council as possibilities for SCI work during the meeting in LA? If possible I would appreciate receiving a copy of Ron's slides. Finally, Julie, does it make sense for us to schedule the first SCI call to review a draft letter to Council on January 13 or does it need to be January 6?

The staff and Secretariat also can assist in requesting 15 minutes for Avri on the GNSO Council schedule in Singapore to discuss the SCI direction for 2015. Whether the time will be granted will depend of course on the Council's workload, which will as noted be taken up largely with issues relating to the IANA stewardship transition and accountability. With respect to the Charter, please refer to the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/2.+Charter. Please note in particular the General and Working Method sections. In the General section the following sentence indicates the scope of the SCI's remit: "The SCI is also responsible for considering requests concerning issues related to the GNSO Council processes and procedures and to Working Group guidelines that have been identified either by the GNSO Council or a group chartered by the GNSO Council as needing discussion." As per the Charter the GNSO Council generally has requested that the SCI should address specific issues relating to its processes and procedures (rather than the SCI making the request to the Council). See the work completed by the SCI since its inception: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=49350790. It has nonetheless been noted on the SCI wiki as of October 2014 that the SCI has suggested to the Council that it take up the following two issues: 1) a full review of the Working Group Consensus Levels and 2) a full review of the GNSO Operating Procedures. See: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=49357334. Also as noted by Mary Wong on 18 December, prior to assigning new issues to the SCI it is possible that the Council may wish to consider the results of the first report of the GNSO review, as well its tasks with respect to the IANA stewardship transition and accountability. I hope you all have a Happy New Year!
