[council] Motion for SCI Proposed Modifications Relating to Elections and Motions

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi again,

I’ve attached a revised motion to this email. Apart from making the changes recommended by Rubens.

I’ve also taken the opportunity to follow up on a motion from the Council’s July 16th meeting disbanding the SCI following the completion of the two tasks addressed in this motion. So if the Council does vote in favour of this motion, I thought it’d make sense to officially disband the SCI in the process.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Amr

The SCI’s done some really solid work for the GNSO over the years, and its members have worked very well to give the GNSO Council recommendations that have been very diligently thought out. Both present and past members of the SCI have my gratitude.
