forward to the report as to the discussion that occurred on

report in the January meeting was dropped but that a voting

Can you or Avri please advise by reply to all?</span></blockquote>

The main part of the report can be had by reading the transcript
from that meeting. It is found at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/transcript-council-19mar15-en.pdf"><http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/transcript-council-19mar15-en.pdf></a><br>

I suggest that anytime you are curious about what happened in the
council meeting, you check out the transcript. It get posted rather
quickly. If you have an specific questions after reading the
transcript, I will be happy to answer if I know the answer, or else
will find it. If the group have any issue they want me to take the
council, I am ready and waiting. And if I have a subject on which I
feel it is necessary to communicate to the group as the liaison, I
will do so.<br>
<br>
I have appended the appropriate section of the transcript below for
your convenience.<br>
<br>
As Mary said, they are working on the motions.<br>
<br>
In other words nothing to report.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">So let’s deal with 11 first, an item that we
had a couple of prospective pieces of work for the standing
committee on improvements that were going to be in the pipeline.
They are now adequately scoped with the help of Staff or at least
there is a form of I think we’ll call it a template. And those
templates are now populated.<br>
So the question is whether or not to refer these to the SCI. I
just wonder whether there is any comment or question on these and
where we take these.<br>
I looked at these two myself and I found them to be - both items
which just feel to me that if they are (unintelligible) scoped, we
could usefully do with some input on developing these. They
weren’t created in a vacuum; we’ve run into real life issues.<br>
Avri, would you or Mary like to provide any other background or
comment on these two items and whether or not we could usefully
refer them to the SCI (unintelligible)?<br>
Mary, go ahead.<br>
Mary Wong: Hi Jonathan and everybody, it’s Mary again. And Avri is
trying to unmute herself I believe so I will defer to her.<br>
Just to say of course that it’s not for Staff to suggest what
would be the best course of action right now, but we can certainly
provide some additional background if you like.<br>

Yes, at the moment - I mean unfortunately perhaps, these didn’t
come in a form of a motion but they were just ready in time. And I
want to thank, you know, Mary and Julie for preparing them. I
really just sort of read, reviewed and made comments so they did
most of the work.<br>
And what they did was they captured from the two conversations
we’ve had relating to the two issues. You know, the issues that we
could send to the SCI. So I think people need to read the
description to make sure that they represent the issue correctly.<br>
And then I believe this is something that we would need, you know,
a function (sic) on perhaps it could fall in </blockquote>

meant motion there<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">the consent mode if there’s, you know,
certainly been discussion on it and the text has been tightened.
But I don't know how much further in these last minutes you want
to go on these.<br>
I think the discussions that we had in Singapore are fairly
represented. Hopefully the people that participated in those
discussions will make sure that they are.<br>
And then I think we need to, you know, I think this would be a
majority type vote, but I think it would be a motion that we would
send it. Thanks</blockquote>

(i hate reading what i say in transcripts - so many 'you knows' -
must work on that.)<br>

Jonathan Robinson: Thanks Avri. I mean I too appreciate the work
that’s gone into these, and so I think let’s see if we can’t
review these further, let’s make sure we’re satisfied with them,
and then as you say, bring them to the Council then formally.
We’ll consider this a preliminary discussion.<br>
To my mind, at least one of these items is something which we
could usefully have as process improvement. So I’m attracted to
putting at least one through the process if not both, and it will
be useful to get other input, as you say, refining the content if
necessary and then bringing them forward for being dealt with by
the SCI.</blockquote>
