<DIV>Some thoughts re the waiver rule since I’ll be not participating the
call:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. I think the 1st sentence of the last para in 3.3.2 is confusing with the
wording “...for the <U>next</U> Council meeting...”. Here the meeting is meant
where the vote under 3.3.2 c is taken. So I feel more comfortable to remove the
word “next”.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. The text proposed in brackets theoretically opens a circle to repeatedly
resubmit a motion the first time since according to the conditions under 4.3.3
only the explanation is to be submitted 10 days in advance. If this is achieved
any late (re)submission of the motion is not to be considered as resubmission.
This doesn’t make sense to me.</DIV>
<DIV

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">3. I’m not
against waivering the 10 day rule. But I wonder whether it’s really needed to be
formalized in the case of resubmission. Since in every case a former motion
shall be tha basis for a resubmission I really can’t see it happen that the 10
day rule can’t be met. So my suggestion is to recommend:</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">a) not to
amend the rules (besides removing the “next”, see above)</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">b) for the
first ever contentious case on council to grant the waiver</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">c) if b)
happens put it on the SCI agenda again to find a final solution <BR><BR>Nice
meeting and best regards<BR><BR>Wolf-Ulrich <BR><BR></DIV>

<DIV>Dear SCI members,<BR>
<DIV>
<DIV
style="WORD-WRAP: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space">
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Our next call scheduled for Thursday 23 July at 18:00 UTC would focus on 2
items based on the discussions we already had in Buenos Aires :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. application of the 10-day waiver rule to resubmitted motions;</DIV>
<DIV>2. GNSO Operating Procedures with regard to friendly amendments to
motions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When reading through transcripts of previous calls (and especially the one
from our BA meeting), the language we need to validate is the one between the
brackets as is shown below. If we consider this is not the case, I would like to
get clearance on this during our call tomorrow.</DIV>
<DIV><PRE lang=en-US class=western><SPAN lang=en-US>"If these requirements are not met, the motion shall not be considered submitted for the next Council meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, if the motion is proposed again for a subsequent Council meeting, it shall not be considered a resubmitted motion under the rules for Resubmission of a Motion in these Operating Procedures.<FONT color=#3465a4><I> [Resubmitted motions made pursuant to Section 4.3.3 of these Operating Procedures after the Submission Deadline must meet these requirements in addition to those detailed in Section 4.3.3 in order to be eligible for consideration by the GNSO Council under this Section 3.3.2.]"</I></FONT></SPAN></PRE></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I’m not wrong we had two proposals : <U>waiving the 10 day rule</U> or
<U><B>NOT</B> waiving the 10 day rule</U>. Maybe this is a bit to simple, but as
far as I could distinct from the discussions in BA this is the point we had not
reached consensus. So perhaps we could start the discussion tomorrow on this
level.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Of course, open to any other proposal, and looking forward to our meeting
tomorrow.</DIV>
