Hi,

Apologies, but something has come up. I won?t make it to tomorrow?s call. I will listen to the recording when it becomes available and submit comments on-list if I need to.

Thanks.

Dear Anne and SCI members,

I've copied below the text of the message I sent on 23 July summarizing the
discussion on the last SCI call with respect to the issue of whether the
waiver applies to resubmitted motions.

Kind regards,
Julie

Thanks Amr.  We will miss your participation.  Were you in agreement that the SCI could state in a letter to GNSO that it is clear the 10 day waiver rule cannot be applied to resubmitted motions WITHOUT amending the Operating Procedures?
Thank you,

Dear SCI members, 

For reference for today's SCI call please see the attached transcript from
the 23 July meeting and the subsequent email that was sent for your review.
The discussion concerning the application of the waiver to resubmitted
motions begins on page 3 and ends on page 13 in the transcript.  As noted in
the attached email, after some discussion the SCI members on the call on 23
July agreed to adopt Wolf-Ulrich's suggestion and to have me summarize the
conclusion and present it to the list for the consideration of those members
who were not on the call.  As agreed to on the call, I sent a version of the
message to Amr to review before sending it to the list.

Kind regards,
Julie

From marika.konings at icann.org  Thu Sep 17 19:12:16 2015
From: marika.konings at icann.org (Marika Konings)
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015 19:12:16 +0000
Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] For your review and feedback - current GNSO practice in relation to
 motions
Message-ID: <D2206C90.4B9BF%marika.konings@icann.org>

Dear All,

Following on from the meeting today, please find hereunder the message that was sent by the SCI on 12 December 2012 to the GNSO Council concerning the issue of deferrals. Do note that in relation to consideration of PDP outputs, the GNSO Operating Procedures do specify a separate process for postponement, for example: "At the request of any Council member, for any reason, consideration of the Final Issue Report may be postponed by not more than one (1) meeting, provided that the Council member details the rationale for such a postponement. Consideration of the Final Issue Report may only be postponed for a total of one (1) meeting, even if multiple Council members request postponement".

As also requested, you will find attached in a word document the current practice as outlined by Mary which was also part of the SCI request as adopted by the GNSO Council on 16 April 2015 (which has also been attached). As discussed during the meeting, you are encouraged to review this first document ahead of the next meeting and include any comments / edits / suggestions you may have.

As a reminder, the GNSO Council framed its request to the SCI as follows:


WHEREAS:

  1.  The SCI submitted to the GNSO Council on 05 March 2015 a Review Request that noted the following issue:
     *   Although there is currently a rule regarding the deadline for timely submission of motions for voting by the GNSO Council (see Section 3.3 of the Operating Procedures), there is none regarding:
        *   whether, how and by whom a properly submitted motion is to be seconded, and
        *   Treatment of proposed amendments to such motions as either "friendly" or "unfriendly".
     *   These have been supported by Council practice to date as opposed to operating procedural rules.

RESOLVED:

  1.  The GNSO Council requests that the SCI codifies the existing customary practices of the GNSO Council (as described above).
  2.  If the SCI believes that the current practices are inappropriate, the SCI should convey its reasons for such belief to the Council and develop new processes to govern the seconding of motions and amendments to motions.
  3.  The GNSO Council suggests that in carrying out this task the SCI consult past GNSO Chairs and Councilors as well as commonly accepted guides and practices (such as Robert's Rules of Order) and other ICANN bodies (such as the Board and other SO/ACs).

Best regards,

Marika

Deferral of Motions:
The SCI was asked by the council to consider the current GNSO Council informal practice whereby a party may request the deferral of a motion to a later date in those situations where a formal process for a deferral is not specifically provided (for example, certain deferrals are foreseen as part of the GNSO PDP, see http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-2-pdp-manual-16dec11-en.pdf). The SCI discussed this practice and whether there was a need to create a procedure to formalize this informal practice. After much debate, the SCI concluded that the current practice of allowing for the deferral of motions was done as a matter of courtesy at the discretion of the Chair of the GNSO Council. For this reason, the SCI concluded that there was no need to create a formal procedure at this time. However, the SCI felt that it was necessary to explicitly state that there is no rule that the Chair must always exercise his or her discretion in the affirmative or the negative. Given that the current informal practice is at the discretion of the Chair, the Chair can exercise that same discretion in considering whether to grant or deny any request and can also exercise his or her discretion when determining how to handle any specific situation that may occur with regard to this informal practice.

Adobe Chat Transcript 17 September 2015

   Terri Agnew:Welcome to the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation on Thursday, 17 September 2015

  Jennifer Standiford:HI Terri

  Terri Agnew:Welcome Jennifer!

  Jennifer Standiford:i will follow along for this meeing via chat - i am also on the UASG call at the same time.

  Amr Elsadr:Hi Terri and all. Apologies in advance for any background noise today.

  Avri Doria:I will also be on two calls at once, also listeinign in to the UASG meeting.

  Terri Agnew:Lori Schulman has joined audio

  Rudi Vansnick:and as i had never happened it is unreasonable to spend too much time in the SCI

  Rudi Vansnick:and as it had ... sorry

  Amr Elsadr:I've always been a fan of consensus calls being done on-list, not on calls.

  Amr Elsadr:Perhaps a deadline to raise a lack of consensus?

  Marika Konings:I think on most of the previous issues a call for consensus would go out on the mailing list - those objecting would be asked to express their view on the mailing list.

  Amr Elsadr:I like Marika's suggestion. Will get the job done. :)

  Rudi Vansnick:which consensus does the council expect ?

  Marika Konings:for SCI issues it is full consensus

  Rudi Vansnick:yes indeed Marika's proposal would most probably work for us

  Marika Konings:it doesn't specify how that is assessed

  Avri Doria:actually i think full consensus applies, which don't need to be affirmative about it.

  Marika Konings:@Avri - that is also my understanding

  Avri Doria:i think Marika's suggest of no objections befor enext meeting is sufficinet.

  Amr Elsadr:Although full consensus is not necessary, no harm in getting it anyway. I believe we do have full consensus on this. We just need to go through the motions of a consensus call. I suggest doing this on list (using "passive" consensus).

  Amr Elsadr:No objections.

  Marika Konings:@Anne - yes, that is correct

  Marika Konings:with regard to your question on current practice

  Marika Konings:As a reminder, the Council asked the SCI to: codify the existing customary practices of the GNSO Council (as described above).If the SCI believes that the current practices are inappropriate, the SCI should convey its reasons for such belief to the Council and develop new processes to govern the seconding of motions and amendments to motions.

  Amr Elsadr:@Marika: regarding whether or not the current practices are appropriate, some on council are not very eager about the idea to change the current practices at all.

  Amr Elsadr:Not so sure about the seconder.

  Marika Konings:As far as I recall, if a motion has been seconded, the seconder also would need to agree

  Amr Elsadr:Technically, a new more agreeable seconder could be recruited to replace the first one during the council meeting. :)

  Amr Elsadr:But since seconding motions is not in the GNSO OP at all..., it's all a little fuzzy.

  Marika Konings:@Amr, that is also within the request of the Council to the SCI. To clarify whether, how and by whom a properly submitted motion is to be seconded

  Amr Elsadr:Yup.

  Marika Konings:@Anne - I have my hand up. Not sure if you are seeing it.

  Avri Doria:true but that has been a practice forever.  since at least 2005

  Amr Elsadr:In BA, the council was asked to vote on the amendment to the motion before voting on the actual motion.

  Amr Elsadr:Something we may wish to also consider.

  Marika Konings:@Amr - that has also been the standing practice

  Marika Konings:in the case of an unfriendly motion

  Amr Elsadr:Ah. Wasn't familiar with that one. Thanks Marika. ;-)

  Marika Konings:A Council member can ask for a deferral if they are of the view that the amendment needs to be further considered.

  Rudi Vansnick:agree with Amr

  Marika Konings:I found Mary's overview and I have posted that on the right side in the note pod

  Marika Konings:the only issue is when the motion has already been deferred once....

  Amr Elsadr:To be clear, deferral of motions is not a tradition. It is in the OPs.

  Marika Konings:as no second deferral is allowed

  Rudi Vansnick:does a second deferral could end up as a new motion entered

  Amr Elsadr:@Rudi: I was just thinking about that. After a deferral, what would happen if another amendment was suggested (at the second council meeting). :)

  Terri Agnew:Julie has disconnected from audio

  Marika Konings:I'm looking at the operating procedures, but cannot find it - I thought it was a clarification that was provided by the SCI and not a change to the operating procedures, but will keep on looking.

  Amr Elsadr:I was actually unaware of the need of the chair to approve the deferral. Will have to refresh my memory. Thanks.

  Rudi Vansnick:i remember it happened if i'm not wrong it was in Singapore

  Amr Elsadr:We have some homework. :)

  Marika Konings:I'll make a note of that

  Amr Elsadr:Yes..., thanks Anne. By codify, I meant suggest changes to the OPs.

  Lori Schulman:How would we "document"  Would be appropriate to ask for some kind of flow?

  Marika Konings:The Council resolution also said: The GNSO Council suggests that in carrying out this task the SCI consult past GNSO Chairs and Councilors as well as commonly accepted guides and practices (such as Robert's Rules of Order) and other ICANN bodies (such as the Board and other SO/ACs).

  Lori Schulman:I see Mary's doc but I wouldn't say its definitive.

  Marika Konings:and Anne is correct, the Council request was based on the procedure as it was outlined by Mary (as the process to codify)

  Marika Konings:it was part of the request that the Council voted on

  Lori Schulman:Thank you Marika.  I was not clear about that.

  Amr Elsadr:Hmm..., looking through the OPs now. Can't find the bit on deferral of motions. Will go through it more thoroughly offline.

  Rudi Vansnick:thanks Ann for this good meeting

  Amr Elsadr:Thanks all. Bye.

  Marika Konings:It was a letter clariying, no change to ops procedures. I'll send it out shortly.

  Marika Konings:Thanks Anne

  Lori Schulman:Thanks for clarifying tough topics Anee.

Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Consensus Call: Waiver of 10-Day Motion Deadline and Resubmission of
 Motions
Message-ID: <D226DDFA.50357%julie.hedlund@icann.org>

Dear SCI members, 

As discussed during the SCI call last week on 17 September, please see below
the proposed letter from the SCI to the GNSO Council on the issue of the
waiver of the 10-day motion deadline and resubmission of motions.

This is a consensus call.

Please indicate your agreement with, or objection to, the proposed letter.
If there are no objections or changes received by COB Tuesday, 29 September
2015, the letter will be presumed to be accepted by full consensus.

Kind regards,
Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

 ------------------------

Dear Jonathan,

 

On 05 March 2015 the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI)
submitted to the GNSO Council a Review Request (see attached) on the issue
of whether the waiver of the 10-day deadline for the submission of motions
can be applied to resubmitted motions.  The Review Request was one of two
that the Council approved at its meeting on 16 April 2015.  The SCI is
continuing to discuss the other Review Request from the Council for the SCI
to consider codifying the current informal procedure for amendments to
motions and to recommend any changes SCI believes (through full consensus)
are appropriate.

 

The SCI has determined after a review of the GNSO Operating Procedures that
by its terms as previously approved by Council, the waiver of the 10-day
deadline for submission of motions does not apply to resubmitted motions.
Further, after lengthy discussion of the possible issues, the SCI is
reluctant to make any recommendations to change the current status of the
Operating Procedures given that no instance of a problem arising in this
regard has occurred.   The SCI also notes that although changes to the GNSO
Operating Procedures are not recommended at this time, the SCI could revisit
the issue if requested by the Council and, specifically, if there is a
contentious issue that warrants further analysis.

 

Please let us know whether you or the Council have any questions or require
further information concerning the SCI's response to this issue request.

 

Best regards,

Anne and Rudi

 

Anne Aikman-Scalese, SCI Chair

Rudi Vansnick, SCI Vice-Chair

Thanks Angie and Amr.  Just to be clear, and unless I am corrected by staff, we are making sure in the Consensus Call that SCI representatives have either (1) reviewed the issue with their respective SOs/ACs and obtained approval or that (2) they have been delegated authority to express approval by their SOs and ACs without further consultation.

I am only raising this because in each case, you have said ?I think? and ?I agree?.  Can you please confirm you are acting on behalf of your constituencies/stakeholder groups?
Thank you,
Anne

I actually haven?t reviewed this with the NCUC membership, however I only normally only do this during a consensus call where the SCI is recommending changes to any of the GNSO operating procedures.

Yes?, I believe I have been delegated the authority to speak on behalf of the NCUC on the SCI.

Thanks for taking such care in confirming this, Anne. Apologies if I wasn?t clear earlier. Please consider this a vote in favour of the consensus call circulated by Julie.

Thanks again.

Many thanks Julie. We understand the consensus call is open until COB TUESDAY September 29 ? THAT IS TOMORROW and failure to object is considered consensus (as in the past.)  We prefer a positive confirmation of consensus for our records so please   - WILL ALL MEMBERS RESPOND BY TUESDAY?

Separately, JULIE, we also do need to have posted to the list the description of the current procedure for ?friendly amendments? ? draft prepared by Mary ? so that those on the list can review and add any redline comments they have based on their experience on Council.  This is about DOCUMENTING the existing procedure ? not about discussing or recommending changes to it.  For those not present on the call, we are going to finalize a version of what we think the current procedures are and present that to Council for consideration in Dublin as part of our report.  (many thanks to Marika for reminding us there are two steps to this exercise that are ?in scope? for SCI.)

Importance: High

Dear SCI members,

As discussed during the SCI call last week on 17 September, please see below the proposed letter from the SCI to the GNSO Council on the issue of the waiver of the 10-day motion deadline and resubmission of motions.

This is a consensus call.

Please indicate your agreement with, or objection to, the proposed letter.  If there are no objections or changes received by COB Tuesday, 29 September 2015, the letter will be presumed to be accepted by full consensus.

Kind regards,

Dear Jonathan,

On 05 March 2015 the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) submitted to the GNSO Council a Review Request (see attached) on the issue of whether the waiver of the 10-day deadline for the submission of motions can be applied to resubmitted motions.  The Review Request was one of two that the Council approved at its meeting on 16 April 2015.  The SCI is continuing to discuss the other Review Request from the Council for the SCI to consider codifying the current informal procedure for amendments to motions and to recommend any changes SCI believes (through full consensus) are appropriate.

The SCI has determined after a review of the GNSO Operating Procedures that by its terms as previously approved by Council, the waiver of the 10-day deadline for submission of motions does not apply to resubmitted motions. Further, after lengthy discussion of the possible issues, the SCI is reluctant to make any recommendations to change the current status of the Operating Procedures given that no instance of a problem arising in this regard has occurred.   The SCI also notes that although changes to the GNSO Operating Procedures are not recommended at this time, the SCI could revisit the issue if requested by the Council and, specifically, if there is a contentious issue that warrants further analysis.

Please let us know whether you or the Council have any questions or require further information concerning the SCI's response to this issue request.

Best regards,
Anne and Rudi

Many thanks Julie. We understand the consensus call is open until COB TUESDAY September 29 ? THAT IS TOMORROW and failure to object is considered consensus (as in the past.)  We prefer a positive confirmation of consensus for our records so please   - WILL ALL MEMBERS RESPOND BY TUESDAY?

Separately, JULIE, we also do need to have posted to the list the description of the current procedure for ?friendly amendments? ? draft prepared by Mary ? so that those on the list can review and add any redline comments they have based on their experience on Council.  This is about DOCUMENTING the existing procedure ? not about discussing or recommending changes to it.  For those not present on the call, we are going to finalize a version of what we think the current procedures are and present that to Council for consideration in Dublin as part of our report.  (many thanks to Marika for reminding us there are two steps to this exercise that are ?in scope? for SCI.)

Hi,

The draft circulated by Marika seems to capture the current practice quite well. I can?t think of anything that is missing. I have only one other comment:

Step 4 of the current practice suggests that the deadline to second a motion is up until a vote takes place during a council meeting. This has always been true. I?m just wondering whether or not it may be desirable to explicitly point this out in the main text. Right now, it?s more clearly stated in one of the footnotes to inform the reader about the practice in regards to publishing the motion without a seconder as part of the meeting agenda on the council wiki page.

Not terribly important, but just a thought. This could be added as a second sentence in step 2.

Thanks.

Amr

  Dear Jonathan,



  On 05 March 2015 the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) submitted to the GNSO Council a Review Request (see attached) on the issue of whether the waiver of the 10-day deadline for the submission of motions can be applied to resubmitted motions.  The Review Request was one of two that the Council approved at its meeting on 16 April 2015.  The SCI is continuing to discuss the other Review Request from the Council for the SCI to consider codifying the current informal procedure for amendments to motions and to recommend any changes SCI believes (through full consensus) are appropriate.



  The SCI has determined after a review of the GNSO Operating Procedures that by its terms as previously approved by Council, the waiver of the 10-day deadline for submission of motions does not apply to resubmitted motions. Further, after lengthy discussion of the possible issues, the SCI is reluctant to make any recommendations to change the current status of the Operating Procedures given that no instance of a problem arising in this regard has occurred.  The SCI also notes that although changes to the GNSO Operating Procedures are not recommended at this time, the SCI could revisit the issue if requested by the Council and, specifically, if there is a contentious issue that warrants further analysis.



  Please let us know whether you or the Council have any questions or require further information concerning the SCI's response to this issue request.

I agree that draft covers all relevant points.
Re step 2 I recall that the possibility exists that more than 1 council 
members second the motion. This does not affect the process rather it is 
kept in the minutes.

Best regards

Wolf-Ulrich

FRIENDLY AMENDMENTS - YOUR INPUT NEEDED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 8 CALL of SCI


Hi,

The draft circulated by Marika seems to capture the current practice quite 
well. I can?t think of anything that is missing. I have only one other 
comment:

Step 4 of the current practice suggests that the deadline to second a motion 
is up until a vote takes place during a council meeting. This has always 
been true. I?m just wondering whether or not it may be desirable to 
explicitly point this out in the main text. Right now, it?s more clearly 
stated in one of the footnotes to inform the reader about the practice in 
regards to publishing the motion without a seconder as part of the meeting 
agenda on the council wiki page.

Not terribly important, but just a thought. This could be added as a second 
sentence in step 2.

Thanks.

Amr

Dear SCI members,

The Consensus Call is complete and there is full consensus to send the
letter.  As noted below if there are no objections or changes received by
the deadline  (29 September 2015) -- and there were none -- the letter will

I have attached the letter and the original request for reference and for

Best regards,
Julie
