[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Re: REMINDER: Document and motion Deadline MONDAY, 6 April 2015 at 23:59 UTC for GNSO Council meeting 16 April 2015 at 11:00 UTC

Dear Avri and Anne,

As Mary noted in a previous message since the SCI requests are currently on
the Consent Agenda for the Council meeting no motions are required.  If that
should change today while the agenda is under review by the Council Chairs
I'll provide motions that Avri can submit by today's deadline.  However,
there have been no objections since Friday to Jonathan's suggestion to
include the SCI requests in the Consent Agenda.

Best regards,
Julie
