In reviewing the proposed language prior to circulation for a Consensus Call, we noted that the suggested Explanation in Greg’s latest email (below) would entail a further change to the revised Resubmission of a Motion language in the GNSO Operating Procedures, which initial revisions were approved by the GNSO Council (see <a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201403">http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201403</a>). As any further changes will have to be published for public comment, an alternative solution might be to add a sentence to the proposed Waivers/Exception language to address the concern voiced by Amr in an earlier email. </div><div><br></div><div>Please indicate whether you, on behalf of your respective stakeholder groups and/or constituencies, support or do not support the attached proposed language.

On its meeting of March 26th, 2014, the GNSO Council approved the SCI recommendation
to amend the GNSO Operating Procedures by adding sections 4.3.3 and 4.3.4 detailing the guidelines of motions being resubmitted. Section 4.3.3, claus number 1 reads as follows:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div><p class="MsoNormal">“1.

The explanation need not accompany the motion when it is resubmitted; however, the explanation must be submitted no

clarifying text to that effect. If the SCI does not recommend that the waiver should apply to resubmitted motions, then no further action is necessary. If the former is true, and not the latter, the the way I read it, the required clarification should either
be added as a fourth bullet to 3.3.2 referencing 4.3.3, or perhaps an added numbered item to 4.3.4 (Limitations and Exceptions to Resubmission of a Motion) referring to the waiver rule in 3.3.2. Without these changes, I can’t see how the text of the operating
procedures will support the waiver rule being applied to resubmitted motions in the event that the need arises.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Amr<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Apr 22, 2014, at 9:53 PM, Shatan, Gregory S. <<a href="mailto:GShatan@reedsmith.com">GShatan@reedsmith.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">As discussed today on the SCI call, I agree with Marika’s comment below, and I have deleted the sentence in question.
