This does not preclude, however, the Council from having the discussion on the methodology at the meeting on the 31st. It just means that if the Council agrees on the methodology in its discussion on the 31st it will also be able to approve the charter (revised or not) also during that meeting. The Charter can be revised (if necessary) following that discussion and submitted for approval during the same meeting. </div><div><br></div><div>If the motion is not submitted by the motion deadline then the Council would not be able to approve the charter on the 31st, but would have to wait until the next meeting (Buenos Aires) to do so.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Julie</div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Ron Andruff <<a href="mailto:randruff@rnapartners.com">randruff@rnapartners.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Friday, October 18, 2013 10:51 AM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> "<a href="mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org">gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org">gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Cc: </span> Julie Hedlund <<a href="mailto:julie.hedlund@icann.org">julie.hedlund@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] RE: SCI Charter Revisions<br></div><div><br></div><div xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
