I had separately suggested that perhaps we could discuss Amr’s request on our call today and if there are no objections then we could grant the extension.

The document is the proposed revision to the GNSO Operating Procedures to include the new text on submitting, seconding, and amending motions.

The Review Request was one of two that the Council approved at its meeting on 16 April 2015. In the attached Review Request the GNSO Council asked that the SCI codify the existing customary practices of the GNSO Council and consider new processes to govern the seconding of motions and amendments to motions.
>>>> • On 09 October 2015 the SCI agreed on a documentation of the Current Practice Relating to Motions and sent a letter (attached) along with the original Review Request and the documentation to Jonathan Robinson, GNSO Council Chair.
>>>> • In December 2015 the SCI established a Sub Team A — Sara Bockey, Angie Graves, Wolf-Ulrich Knoben, and Lawrence Olawale-Roberts, and Rudi Vansnick — to review the current practice and the Sub Team submitted its recommendations to the SCI on 02 March 2016.  The SCI discussed the recommendations in Marrakech on 05 March and asked staff to draft revisions to the GNSO Operating Procedures per the recommendations.
>>>> • On 07 April the SCI discussed the draft revisions and asked staff to submit them to the SCI for a Consensus Call.
