Thanks Marika.<div><br></div><div><div>All, the Council currently does not have 
a procedure in place to handle items as part of a consent 
agenda.</div><div><br></div><div>I'd like to propose such a simplified consent 
procedure to the Council. What I have in mind is something very similar to what 
the Board does, where an initial agenda item would be a consent agenda. I would 
propose that we apply the simplest threshold to such items which would be a 
majority of each house. That they be considered only once (i.e. if not approved 
then simply rejected). That there be no possibility of a deferral (like we have 
with motions). And that if anyone objects to an item being on the consent 
agenda, that Councillors can say so and the item is then simply moved to the 
main agenda. The idea being that consent agenda items are supposed to be simple 
and straightforward.</div><div><br></div><div>I have drafted the agenda for our 
next meeting with this in mind, implementing the following 
changes:</div><div><br></div><div><div>- moving the Pending Project List item 
into the admin item 1, as I think this still needs to be looked at by the 
Council at every meeting.</div><div>- I have left the standard item 2 in there, 
but this now becomes a consent agenda item.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Is 
there any objection to this?</div><div><br></div><div> <span

font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Per the new GNSO Policy Development 
Process, the GNSO Council needs to approve the Recommendations Report to the 
Board (which has replaced the Council Report to the Board in the old PDP) 
before it is submitted to the ICANN Board for its consideration. Following the 
adoption of IRTP Part B Recommendation #9 part 2 and the ICANN Staff proposal, 
we have prepared the attached Recommendations Report for your consideration. 
Please note that this report does not contain any new information, but aims to 
provide an overview of all the relevant information in order for the Board to 
take an informed decision. As the new PDP does not prescribe how such a 
Recommendations Report should be structured, we would also like to take this 
opportunity to ask your input on the elements the Recommendations Report should 
contain so this can be turned into a template which can be used for future 
Recommendations Reports. For your information, you will find the relevant 
section of the PDP Manual relating to the Recommendations Report 
below.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div style="font-family: Calibri;
