<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Thanks Mary. Based on previous experience, I wonder whether we can actually respond without some kind of consensus call among SCI members. Although Avri and
Greg appear to agree regarding this procedural issue, there has been no full SCI discussion of the issue and no consensus call regarding this request. I think we have to be very careful, particularly after Avri’s previous observations that decisions should
not be made quickly or without thorough discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
Perhaps I could report on it to the G-council.<br>
<br>
But that does not strike me as the correct approach, unless I am reporting it as something we did not take on and kicked back. I think that if the CSG/BC wants this issue to be dealt with by the G-Council, it makes the most sense for them to make their case
to the G-Council themselves.<br>
<br>
As a member of the group it is my belief that the only correct action for the SCI is to send it back to the BC with an indication that the proper approach to the SCI is through the GNSO Council.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Thanks for the clarifications and suggestions, Avri and Greg! The GNSO Review topic is one that I believe will be on the agenda for either the next or following
Council meeting. As such, perhaps Avri (as a Council member and Council liaison to the SCI) with staff support (as needed) can bring up this issue at the appropriate time? Speaking as a staffer, I feel I obliged to state that Greg’s latter point – logical
though it is – seems to raise broader questions concerning the appropriate scope of SG/C self-governance that go beyond the SCI’s remit and that will most likely require consideration either as part of the GNSO Review or Council determination, or both.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">This could be a good issue for the GNSO review. However, I think an amendment to Section 6.2.6 of the GNSO Operating Procedures (which cover SG/C voting issues)
would be a more elegant and consistent solution, rather than having each SG/C amend its own charter with its own rules regarding "carpet-baggers," The inconsistent results that could arise from that can only be imagined.

<br>
Thanks Mary for your reply. I want to add one thing, any such consideration more likely belongs in the GNSO Review as that is the group looking at how we organize our corner of bottom-up multistakeolder activities. Stakeholder group charters are approved
by the Board as 'negotiated' between the SIC and the SGs. Constituencies are approved in a process defined by the SIC complemented by conditions defined in the SG charter. I do agree that there is complexity in dealing with the issue of a large corporation
with many divisions, subsidiaries, employees, goals and business lines having only a vote in only one SG. Conveniently this may be the right time to get such considerations put on the table for the GNSO Review.<br>
<br>
On a technicality. we have specific rules about who has standing to present cases to the SCI.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">For items that are submitted for review 'on request', the SCI expects to receive detailed input from the group affected by the process/operational change concerned.
Either the GNSO Council or a group chartered by the GNSO Council can make such requests.

The first line refers, obliquely to the template Anne refered to and the staff is working on. Mary, thanks for the update.<br>
<br>
The second line refers to the issue of standing to submit such a template to the SCI. We actually had the specific discussion on whether SG and C had standing. As the SCI charter indicates we decided that they did not and they needed to bring issues in through
the GNSO Council. I am sure we would all agree that the SG/C are not chartered by the GNSO Council.<br>

charters. Each SG or C develops and approves its own charter (as appropriate) and the Bylaws merely provide that the Board can review a group’s charter periodically. It therefore follows that the GNSO Operating Procedures do not provide for the review, amendment
or approval of an SG’s or C’s charter by a body other than that particular SG/C. The GNSO Operating Procedures do, however, prescribe certain common standards to be followed by each SG and C in its charter and operations, such as transparency, accountability,
inclusiveness and representation. Accordingly, the Operating Procedures also specify that a group member’s voting rights must be spelled out clearly in the group’s charter, and that a legal or natural person may not be a voting member of more than one group. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

As such, we suggest that the BC leadership consider initiating a discussion with other SG/C leaders on this point, to see if this is a matter that warrants either a revision of or addition to each group’s charter. In addition, the BC itself may internally
wish to propose such an update to its own charter, which it is of course at liberty to do as part of its ongoing self-governance (regardless of whether other SG/Cs wish to revise their own charters in the same way).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">Dear Anne,<br>
<br>
I am a member of the Business Constituency and currently working with the BC Charter Review team. During our recent discussions, we identified a potential issue that may affect GNSO Stakeholder Groups (SGs) and Constituencies (Cs) which may warrant the attention
of the SCI, which I understand you currently chair.<br>
<br>
With the introduction of New gTLDs, an increasing number of organisations now meet the criteria of membership within multiple groups, even across the contracting and non-contracting parties divide. The point in question is in relation to the ability for a
member of multiple SGs and Cs to regularly switch their voting rights between these groups in a tactical manner, so as to apply votes for elections/decisions where they may have concerns with lack of representation within a specific group, at a specific time.
Whilst they may only vote in one of the SGs or Cs, there is no restriction as to when and how frequently they may switch their voting power between these groups. This could be too flexible and potentially allow the system to be exploited.<br>
<br>
I am pleased to say that there is no evidence that this is occurring but as new members continue to increase, it seems sensible to consider preventative measures be put in place to protect the GNSO for the future. As an example, a multi-member organisation
could be obliged to commit holding it's voting rights within one group for a minimum term of 12 months before switching to another group. Of course, this would need to be uniform across all of the SGs and Cs, hence, we think it is appropriate to raise this
issue with the SCI for consideration.<br>
<br>
I would be happy to discuss further and interested to know if you feel this would be appropriate and worthwhile for the SCI to assess.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
