That is correct: until the revised Operating Procedures are published the GNSO Council must follow the most recent published draft. That is why in its motion to adopt revised procedures the Council always directs staff to post the revised version of the Operating Procedures as soon as possible following the approval of the motion. Generally staff then publishes the revised Procedures fairly quickly, usually in a few days (if there are no other dependencies, such as changes to Bylaws). </div><div><br></div><div>If the GNSO Council followed this procedure with the revised Operating Procedures relating to motions and amendments, it would expect staff to quickly publish a new version of the Operating Procedures. Then if in another month or so the Chair/Vice Chair procedures were approved there would quickly follow another version of the Operating Procedures. It could get a bit confusing for the community to have versions coming out in relative quick succession, which is why changes to the Operating Procedures have generally been grouped both for purposes of having one public comment period, but also to have as many changes as possible appear in the revised version of the Operating Procedures.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope this is helpful and thanks again for your question.</div><div><br></div><div>Have a nice weekend!</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div>Julie</div><div><div id="MAC_OUTLOOK_SIGNATURE"></div></div></div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:12pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> "Aikman-Scalese, Anne" <<a href="mailto:AAikman@lrrc.com">AAikman@lrrc.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 7:52 PM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> Julie Hedlund <<a href="mailto:julie.hedlund@icann.org">julie.hedlund@icann.org</a>>, "<a href="mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org">gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org">gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Cc: </span> "Rudi Vansnick (<a href="mailto:rudi.vansnick@isoc.be">rudi.vansnick@isoc.be</a>)" <<a href="mailto:rudi.vansnick@isoc.be">rudi.vansnick@isoc.be</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> RE: Actions: SCI Meeting 05 May 2016<br></div><div><br></div><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><div xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 14 (filtered medium)"><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}

Regarding the question whether to go ahead and put the amendments to motions language out for public comment so as to finalize before Helsinki,
did you say that if Council adopts a new Operating Procedure, they cannot implement it until the Operating Procedure manual is reissued? Could they formally adopt the Procedure for amendments to motions in Helsinki but then not have the OP reissued until
we resolve the Chair election issues?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">It just seems that if adoption of the Procedure for amendments to motions clarifies Council business (and particularly since we have been working on that for
months since the issues arose again in Argentina) that it would be better to get that out for public comment and put it to bed in Helsinki. However, if Council cannot follow a procedure after adopting it until it appears in a new published version of the
Operating Procedures, then that may be a different consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">I note that this whole question may become moot if not decided until our next call May 19.

Council end at the same time as the Chair, and no Chair is conclusively elected, this procedure would apply: Each House should designate a new or continuing Councilor from within its respective House, to temporarily fill the role of Vice Chair on an interim
basis, not as an elected Vice Chair. The deadline for each House to designate its Interim Vice Chair is 14 calendar days following the Council meeting at which no Chair was conclusively elected. The Designated Interim Vice Chairs will co-chair the Chair election
and conduct Council business until such time as a Chair is conclusively elected. Once the election is completed their service in those roles would end. Candidates for Chair will not be eligible to serve as Designated Interim Vice Chairs, to avoid potential
conflicts of interest. However, Interim Vice Chairs are not prohibited from being appointed as continuing Vice Chairs by their respective Houses following a successful Chair election."</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">SCENARIO 4: A new GNSO Council Chair is not elected, neither of the two Vice Chairs is continuing on the Council, and the Houses do not designate Interim Vice Chairs.</span></u><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: blue;">Final Proposed Language</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: blue;">: “If both Houses should fail to temporarily fill the role of Vice Chair
