[council] Additions to GNSO Operating Procedures

[Tim Ruiz]

I'm not able to review the changes in context right now to know to what
extent we may need our SG sign-off, if any. So It would be helpful to
have until the end of week to object.

>    GNSO Councilors:
>    I recently learned that, when
>    Staff was incorporating the
>    relevant sections of the CSG
>    Work Team recommendations (2.1
>    and 2.2) into the GNSO
>    Operating Procedures (v2.0),
>    an important explanatory note
>    was inadvertently omitted.
>    Appropriately, Staff did not
>    transfer certain
>    non-procedural content, for
>    example, "Background" and
>    "Executive Summary."
>    Unfortunately, there were two
>    sentences that should have
>    been included; however, they
>    were originally located under
>    "Background" and, thus, were
>    not noticed.
>    What I am recommending is that
>    the following paragraph be
>    added immediately below the
>    GOP Chapter 7 heading and
>    before 7.1-Participation
>    Rules.  It will be inserted in
>    a shaded box as follows:
>    [Important Note:   The
>    recommendations in Chapter 7
>    apply to both Constituencies
>    and Stakeholder Groups,
>    referred to collectively as
>    "Groups."  In addition, with
>    respect to this Chapter's
>    contents, the word "should"
>    shall be interpreted to mean:
>     an obligation or duty to take
>    a certain course of action,
>    unless otherwise specified.]
>    Would anyone object if this
>    addition is made to the
>    version that the Council
>    approved on 5 August 2010?
>    If there are no objections, I
>    will ask Staff to update the
>    version on the GNSO web site
>    (http://gnso.icann.org/council
>    /docs.html); otherwise, we
>    will have to draft a motion
>    and put the matter to a vote
>    at our 26 August meeting.
