<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I think your suggestion for January 20 makes perfect sense. I will undertake to draft a letter requesting further guidance to SCI from Council. I have notes
from both Greg and Amr with respect to this and have noted your reference to the items listed in the wiki related to (1) review of WG Consensus Levels and (2) a full review of GNSO Operating Procedures. I note that SCI itself is a “group chartered by the
GNSO Council” and that it raised the question of review of WG Consensus Levels with Council last year after working on the “Consensus Against” issue.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So let’s schedule the January 20 meeting in hopes that more members may attend and I will draft a letter before that listing the items raised by Greg and Amr
in previous e-mails as well as the WG Consensus Level review for Council’s consideration.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Many thanks Julie, Glen, et all for your guidance. I certainly do think that we want to ask Council to give Avri 15 minutes in Singapore. I think this means
our letter must be final before February 1 and that seems reasonable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Julie, could you please send me a template for sending a letter to Jonathan from SCI based on previous letters sent by Ron and Wolf-Ulrich? I look forward
to talking with the members on January 20.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

Please note in particular the General and Working Method sections. In the General section the following sentence indicates the scope of the SCI's remit: "The SCI is also responsible for considering requests concerning issues related to the GNSO Council processes
and procedures and to Working Group guidelines that have been identified either by the GNSO Council or a group chartered by the GNSO Council as needing discussion." As per the Charter the GNSO Council generally has requested that the SCI should address specific
issues relating to its processes and procedures (rather than the SCI making the request to the Council). See the work completed by the SCI since its inception:
<a href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=49350790">https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=49350790</a>. It has nonetheless been noted on the SCI wiki as of October 2014 that the SCI has suggested to the Council that
it take up the following two issues: 1) a full review of the Working Group Consensus Levels and 2) a full review of the GNSO Operating Procedures. See:
<a href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=49357334">https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=49357334</a>. Also as noted by Mary Wong on 18 December, prior to assigning new issues to the SCI it is possible that the Council
may wish to consider the results of the first report of the GNSO review, as well its tasks with respect to the IANA stewardship transition and accountability.</span><span lang="FR-BE" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">My goal would be for SCI to have a letter to GNSO composed in time for Avri to present it in Singapore GNSO working sessions as a menu of items which GNSO Council
could choose from to provide assignments to SCI. My question is whether a January 13 call would be sufficient time for SCI to have a discussion leading to preparation of the letter to Council based on projects we have considered in the past and that Ron and
Greg have outlined. </span><span lang="FR-BE" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I do not think that SCI work should stop due to the IANA transition issues. One question might be how SCI can best help GNSO in addressing these issues. For
example, if SCI reviews PDP consensus levels on a more thorough basis than previously examined, would that improve ICANN Accountability as it relates to the transition? Do these consensus levels or any other aspect of the PDP process have a significant impact
on accountability?</span><span lang="FR-BE" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

5th, which is the deadline for motions and documents. However, this may not be possible since it wouldn't allow time for SCI members to discuss a letter during a call, and members also are likely to be out during the next two weeks for holidays so they may
not be able to make much progress on the list. In addition, the ICANN offices are closed beginning at Noon on 24 December through Friday, 2 January 2015. They will reopen on 5 January. We can certainly schedule a meeting at the usual time on the 6th to kick
things off. Let us know if you would like us to schedule a meeting on the 6th. </span><span lang="FR-BE" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
