<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: calibri, sans-serif">Dear SCI
Members,</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: calibri, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: calibri, sans-serif">At its meeting
today, 31 October 2013, the GNSO Council approved the attached charter of the
SCI via Motion 3 listed here: <A
href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+31+October+2013">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+31+October+2013</A>.
The approved charter has been posted to the SCI wiki at: <A
href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/3.+Charter">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/3.+Charter</A>.
</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: calibri, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV>Please note that the GNSO Council decided not to alter the decision-making
process at this time, but reserved the possibility of revisiting the discussion
on this issue at another time. Thus, the decision-making process of the
SCI will continue as it appeared in the original charter: "Unless otherwise
determined by the SCI members, committee decisions will be made by “full
consensus” process as described in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines (see
section 3.6)." A note has been included in the charter that this process
is subject to Council consideration.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As there were no volunteers for the position of liaison from the SCI to the
Council, the GNSO Council decided to wait to appoint a liaison until after the
new Council is seated in Buenos Aires. However, Wolf-Ulrich Knoben
suggested Mikey O'Conner as a possible liaison.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please let me know if you have any questions. I will send the link to
the transcript of the GNSO Council meeting as soon as it is available.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Julie</DIV>
