RE: [council] Motion To Approve Clarifying Edits to GNSO Operating Procedures

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Wolf.  Nothing has changed the motion you reference so your
understanding is valid.  The GCOT is continuing to work on the
abstention issue.

        Chuck, 

        I second the motion by understanding that the motion resolved at
the Seoul meeting regarding abstentions is still valid:
         
        <<
        
        ...
        Resolved, the GNSO Council operating procedures defined in XYZ
are
        accepted with the following proviso:  Paragraph 4.2, dealing
with the
        subject of counting of abstentions is approved only as an
interim
        solution.  The GNSO Council operations work team (GCOT) is
requested
        to review this item and recommend a further solution by November
25th
        in 2009.
        ...
        >>




        Best regards 
        Wolf-Ulrich

        An: Council GNSO
        Betreff: [council] Motion To Approve Clarifying Edits to GNSO
Operating Procedures
        
        
        In my capacity of chair of the OSC, I hereby make the following
motion for action in our 23 Nov 09 Council meeting.  Because the link is
not yet available for the clean and redline versions of the changes, I
attached them to this message.  A second is requested.
         
        Motion To Approve Clarifying Edits to GNSO Operating Procedures

        23 November 2009

         

        Whereas the GNSO Council approved its new GNSO Operating
Procedures during its 28 October 2009 meeting in Seoul;

        Whereas the GNSO Council Operations Work Team Chair advised
Council members in Seoul of the need to incorporate a number of
clarifying edits to the procedures that were not included in the final
draft of the procedures adopted by the Council;

        Whereas the edits are intended to simply clarify the original
procedural language recommended by the Work Team;

        Whereas the Work Team has been directed by the Council to
continue its work on a second phase of substantive Council procedural
recommendations including a further examination of the provisions for
voting abstentions;

        RESOLVED, the Council accepts the clarifying edits forwarded by
the Work Team (insert link here) and looks forward to the subsequent
substantive procedural recommendations to be developed by the Work Team.
Staff is directed to share the edited procedures with the Board and post
both clean and red-lined versions of the procedures on the GNSO Web
Page.

        Chuck
