<div> Michelle DeSmyter:Welcome to the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) meeting held on 19 May 2016 at 18:00 UTC.</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:Hi Angie.</div>
<div> Lori:I recommend deleting "dealing with"</div>
<div> Lori:unnecessary words</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:@Lori: Where doe "dealing with" appear?</div>
<div> Lori:Heading of 2.2.1</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:I'm happy to note the suggested change.</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:@Lori: Thank you. So we would say, "Procedures for a situation..."?</div>
<div> Lori:yes.</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:@Lori: Thank you!</div>
<div> Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:agree</div>
<div> Angie Graves:agree</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:+1</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:Check marks of agreement from Lori, Amr, Angie, and Anne.</div>
<div> Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:ok, understood</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:@Julie: Sounds good to me.</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:All, the bracket language to be appended as follows: [no later than 23h59 Coordinate Universal Time (UTC)] </div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:prior to "14 calendar days"</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:In both 2 and 3</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:I have no objection to interim VCs being appointed past the deadline, but would be concerned that a House would consume more time to conclude its selection when other important things are happening. We could let the House make a judgment call
on whether this is desirable, or not.</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:@Amr: Thank you. So, in that case we wouldn't need to put something in the procedures?</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:Not so sure about that Julie. The current language doesn't seem to allow for appointments past the deadline.</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:The important issue here would be that Council business (including a second round of elections) not be delayed.</div>
<div> Lori:Anne, would you like me to fill in for you if you need to call the doctor?</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:@Anne: If we had consensus language first.</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:If I recall correctly.</div>
<div> Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:@Amr, that's exactly what should be avoided</div>
<div> Lori:Julie can.</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:@Anne: You're not wrong. :)</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:@Lori: I also said that I would have concerns with this. ;-)</div>
<div> Lori:ok. I may have conflated the comments.</div>
<div> Lori:Lowered my hand</div>
<div> Lori:Maybe label it Chair Elections?</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:@Lori: Yes. +1. :)</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:@Lori: Yes!</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:I believe the third column is helpful, but shouldn't it give a better indication of the time available to submit a candidate statement.</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:..., similar to that pointing out the 30 days for "House Nominee Selection"?</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:@WUK: +1</div>
<div> Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:ok, I'll send my sugestion to the list</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:@Anne: I've already noted adding "Chair" in the title of the section -- thanks!</div>
<div> Julie Hedlund:@Wolf-Ulrich: Thanks so much, very helpful. I just want to make sure I get it right :-)</div>
<div> Lori:Remarkably, I am free.</div>
<div> Amr Elsadr:Thanks all. Bye.</div>
<div> Lori:Ciao</div>
<div> Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:thanks all and bye</div>
<div> Angie Graves:Thank you</div>
