Re: [council] Proposed OSC Charter

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Are there any material changes in the charter?  If so, I think we  
would actually need a motion and a vote to approved the modified  
charter.
Also I see it does not include any milestones.  In any case, I think  
it would be reasonable to hold off any such vote until some milestones  
have been included.
I do not, however, think that giving 3 days for Council members to  
object to any changes is necessarily sufficient for substantively  
modifying a SC charter.
thanks

Reference from approved plan for GNSO Improvements:

The GNSO Council must adopt the charter that initiates the work of the  
steering
committees. This should be done by a motion for approval of a charter  
which is
duly seconded and which receives a supermajority vote of Council members
present. The Council also must approve any material changes that are  
made to
the work items or milestones or committee composition.  All such work  
plans and
committee composition decisions, including termination of the steering
committees, will be done by a motion within the Council that is duly  
seconded
and which receives a supermajority vote in compliance with the current  
GNSO
Council voting guidelines ....
