<DIV>I don’t think resubmitting a motion is outside the scope of the present
charter because submission and handling of motions used to be part of the
improvements process (council operating rules).</DIV>
<DIV>In addition the two bullet points – at least from my point of view – do not
limit the SCI existence because of the periodic iteration.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nevertheless the general question should be discussed. I wonder whether we
could achieve in Durban a general “go ahead thinking of a broader SCI scope” by
the council and after a while coming back to the council with concrete
suggestions. I doubt that we can expect more guidance.</DIV>

Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) will provide an update
on its work to the GNSO Council in Durban on 13 July. One of issues the
SCI is considering is an update of its Charter, as we have reported
previously. This began as an effort to update the Charter to include
procedures to elect the SCI Chair and Vice Chair, but recently the SCI also has
considered whether other updates are necessary. After discussing possible
updates the SCI members realized that they need guidance from the GNSO Council
as to whether the SCI's work should be limited to a review of the procedures
developed in the GNSO Implementations process, or whether the GNSO Council
intends for the SCI to address other procedural issues not related to the
improvements process. <STRONG>WUK:</STRONG> <STRIKE>One such example might
be the re-submission of a motion, which is an issue the Council asked the SCI to
address and for which the SCI currently is considering revised
procedures.<o:p></o:p></STRIKE></SPAN></P></DIV>
