Thus, as agreed at the SCI meeting today, staff is requesting a consensus call on the language provided by Greg Shatan concerning changes to the GNSO Council Operating Procedures on resubmitting a motion. Please see the attached redlined and clean versions of the language. Please review this language in your Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups if you have not already done so. </div><div><br></div><div><i><b>If there are no objections or changes to the language received by <u>Wednesday, 08 January 2014</u>, the language will be presumed to be accepted by full consensus.</b></i></div><div><br></div><div>If the language is approved the next step will be for staff to prepare a redlined version of the GNSO Council Operating Procedures that will be put out for public comment for 21 days. However, as noted on today's call this may be combined with changes to the GNSO Working Group Guidelines relating to the working group self-assessment survey (as being prepared by Ken Bour).</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Julie</div><div><br></div><div>Julie Hedlund, Policy Director</div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><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"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p></div></div></span><style type="text/css">P.8a09f65d-c2b6-45a7-bdb1-057bbe9dd6fa {
