the last sentence could read "Then the chair calls for a vote <U>on each
item</U>". (BTW that was my misunderstanding that I referred the vote to the
consent agenda itself and not to the agenda items).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Notes from SCI meeting and updated consent agenda language for
review<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 14px">Dear All,</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 14px"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 14px">Please find
below the notes of last week's SCI meeting. In addition, please find attached
an updated version of the proposed consent agenda language in which I've aimed
to incorporate the different points raised during the meeting. Also, dedicated
wiki pages have been created for the different sub-teams (see <A
href="https://community.icann.org/x/LIHg">https://community.icann.org/x/LIHg</A>).
If there are any additional volunteers for any of the sub-teams, please let me
know. Please note that we still need to modify the permissions for the wiki
space so that everyone has the appropriate editing capabilities (hopefully
this will get taken care off in the next couple of days). </DIV>
