<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">4. Any Councilor can ask for the acceptance of re-submission to be taken off the consent agenda -- in which case the question whether or not the re-submission should even go through goes automatically to a Council vote on whether to accept it.</font> </p>

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">NOTE: All this is just to decide if the act of re-submission itself is accepted -- the actual substance of the motion does not get discussed, or put to a vote, until the re-submission is accepted.</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">CONTEXT: At a recent Council meeting, a motion was voted on and defeated because two Councilors abstained without realizing that an abstention under the GNSO Council rules is automatically deemed to be a No vote. The question then became whether the motion could be re-submitted and re-voted on, at which point it became clear that the GNSO Council rules and procedures do NOT currently have a process in place to deal with the question. The SCI was therefore asked to look at the issue and recommend such a process.</font>
