<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">My only suggestion would be to provide some rationale for why members felt there should or shouldn’t be full consensus to help guide the discussion for the
Council. For example, I recall the rationale for full consensus was that it ensured the group would dedicate the time to explore all points of view and work to find stronger outcomes. The SCI has the luxury of not working under any time constraints on procedural
and process issues rather than substantive issues and thus the full consensus requirement gave the group more time to really find a better outcome. On the flip side, I believe the argument against full consensus included concerns about potentially using the
SCI in a way that would drive substantive outcomes in the GNSO, whether intentionally or not, by pushing through decisions on procedure/process to meet an immediate need.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

then the Council does not benefit from the time we spent discussing this issue.

on August 6th, 2013, the SCI members discussed the outcomes from the GNSO Wrap-up Session in Durban and decided that it would be helpful to seek additional guidance from the Council with respect to the next steps for the SCI Charter. In particular, based
on the discussion in Durban, it seems clear that the GNSO Council would like the SCI to continue as a 'standing committee' and would like the Charter to reflect that role.</span><span style><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span><span style><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Also at the Wrap-Up Session the GNSO Council discussed the SCI process for decision-making (full consensus versus Standard Methodology for Making Decisions).
The SCI understands that the Council agreed to consider this issue further on its mailing list and Council members were encouraged to share their views in support of one or the other option. We now understand that Jeff Neuman will provide background information
as to why the SCI was initially required to operate under full consensus.</span><span style><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span><span style><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">At the August 6<sup>th</sup> meeting, SCI members expressed an interest in further revising the Charter to ensure that the role of 'standing committee' is clear,
to update it to include procedures for the election of SCI Chair and Vice-Chair, and to revise the decision-making process
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">if directed to do so by
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">the Council.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"> In this regard, it should be noted that there are SCI members who believe
the “full consensus” process is beneficial for a group of this type. The SCI would be happy to brief the Council on the Charter and Consensus issues if so requested.
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> However, if the Council, as the Chartering organization, would prefer to take on the task of revising the charter, it would be helpful if it could inform the SCI accordingly.
In either case it seems clear that it will be helpful to have a revised Charter available as soon as possible. The SCI stands ready to assist in this task in whatever way the Council deems appropriate.</span><span style><u></u><u></u></span></p>
