Hello everyone,
In addition to Julie¹s notes it may be useful to bear in mind,for workload
purposes, the amount of work and current focus on the IANA stewardship
transition and accountability (e.g. many GNSO Councilors and community
members are involved in one or both of the cross community working groups
and the upcoming deadline of end-January for the names community¹s proposal
to be submitted to the IANA Coordination Group) as well as the fact that we
are currently awaiting Westlake Governance¹s first report on the GNSO review
(expected in January 2015). 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 GNSO¹s work for 2015.
Cheers
Mary

>> Thanks Amr. This new provision looks quite useful in these circumstances.
>> Nice to know.
>>
>> I¹ll be out of the office all next week but am looking at the correspondence

>>
>> 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 Ron¹s 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?

>> Determination; Notice. Voting outside a meeting may only occur when all of

>>
>> a. Be open (i.e., not by secret ballot);
>>
>> b. Allow for the inclusion of voting statements in accordance with Section
>> 4.3.2 of these Operating Procedures; and
>>
>> c. Have their outcomes published and recorded, with accompanying voter
>> statements, if any, as minutes for purposes of formal record keeping. These
>> items

>> Operating Procedures, except that the relevant time period shall commence
>> with the ending of the voting period.
>>
>> 4.10.3.2 Voting outside a meeting should normally be by electronic means.

>> Operating Procedures.
