<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">the GNSO
council at its next meeting on Sep 05 shall discuss the SCI role as intended
from the Durban meeting. The “historical” information to be provided by Jeff
Newman is still pending but seems to be important for the understanding of where
the SCI comes from.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">If the SCI
wants to submit some input to this discussion the SCI meeting on Sep 04 seems to
be too close to the council meeting in order to prepare some statement. In this
case we should start immediately on the list.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">To my
understanding the only item still open is about the working method – WG model or
full consensus. In my view a statement outlining the pros and cons would be
helpful.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">The role
itself – the SCI as an ongoing working institution – was not objected by the
council.<BR><BR>Best
