[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Fwd: [council] Motion for SCI Proposed Modifications Relating to Elections and Motions

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi,

In my capacity as the Council liaison to the SCI, I sent this to the Council list a few days ago, and neglected to send a copy here. Thought you should all know. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks.

Amr

These modifications involve both the process for GNSO Councillors to submit motions, in addition to the process to elect a GNSO Council Chair/Vice-Chair(s).

The SCI’s done some really solid work for the GNSO over the years, and its members have worked very well to give the GNSO Council recommendations that have been very diligently thought out. Both present and past members of the SCI have my gratitude.
