<div class="yiv437367497MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">As we discussed during our most recent
meeting this past Thursday, Aug. 9<sup>th</sup>, we seem to be coalescing
around couple of ways to address the issue of deferral of motions. As you
may recall, the issue was whether to create a rule in the GNSO Council
Operating Procedures to limit how many times a motion may be deferred.
Staff provided statistics from 2010 and 2011 on the number of deferrals.
The SCI members seem to agree that the numbers were not high and did not
suggest abuse. Conversations on the wiki (see <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/Deferral+of+Motions" title="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/Deferral+of+Motions">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/Deferral+of+Motions</a>)
suggest two ways the SCI could recommend that the GNSO Council could address
this issue:</span></font></div>
<div class="yiv437367497MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; "> </span></font></div>
<div class="yiv437367497MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">1. A light touch approach, i.e. request
Staff to monitor deferred motions for one year and present the results to the
SCI. At that time, the SCI will once again analyze the results, decide
whether deferrals are being abused, and whether a change to the Procedures is
warranted; or </span></font></div>

<div class="yiv437367497MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">2. Recommend to the GNSO Council a
change to the Procedures that sets a limit on the number of deferrals.
The limit would be 1 deferral and the issue that was deferred would be
the first item on the following GNSO Council agenda.</span></font></div>

a consensus on one or the other of these two recommendations to the GNSO
Council on Deferral of Motions. Please indicate on the list your
preference for one of these two options (if not in agreement, suggest a third
option for SCI members to consider).</span></font></div>
