Dear colleagues,

I herewith like to submit the following


Motion for Approval of a Revised Charter for the Standing Committee on GNSO 
Improvements Implementation

Made by: Wolf-Ulrich Knoben

Seconded by: TBD



WHEREAS



1. On 28 April 2011 the GNSO Council approved the charter for the Standing 
Committee on GNSO Improvements Implementation (SCI);



2. In 2013 the SCI determined that the Charter as originally approved no longer 
reflected the current role of the SCI as a standing committee, and furthermore 
did not contain procedures for selecting the Chair and Vice-Chair of the SCI;



3. The SCI requested guidance from the GNSO Council as to how to proceed with 
revisions to the Charter that would address its concerns;



4. At its meeting on 05 September 2013 the GNSO Council endorsed the SCI as a 
standing committee and further requested that the SCI proceed to revise the 
Charter as it may deem necessary, with the exception of the section on Decision 
Making;



5. The SCI has since revised the Charter to reflect its role as a standing 
committee and to include procedures to select the Chair and Vice Chair; and

The GNSO Council has reviewed the revised Charter submitted by the SCI.



RESOLVED,



1. The GNSO Council thanks the SCI for its work to date; and



2. The GSNO Council approves the revised SCI Charter at [INSERT LINK] which 
will replace the previous charter effective immediately upon adoption of this 
motion 



3. The GNSO Council appoints [confirm name] as the GNSO Council Liaison to the 
Standing Committee on GNSO Improvements Implementation. 







As you know from former discussions on council the SCI could not find an 
agreement on the Decision making process and requested the council to deal with 
this and come up with a recommendation (“full consensus” or “WG guideline 
oriented”). If the council until the next meeting comes to an agreement 
(through discussion on the list) the motion can be amended accordingly.



Best regards



Wolf-Ulrich
