[council] Motion for SCI Proposed Modifications Relating to Elections and Motions

[Amr Elsadr <aelsadr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In my capacity as the Council liaison to the Standing Committee on 
Improvements, I am submitting this motion to adopt modifications to the GNSO 
Operating Procedures proposed by the SCI. These modifications involve both the 
process for GNSO Councillors to submit motions, in addition to the process to 
elect a GNSO Council Chair/Vice-Chair(s).

As all SCI recommendations go, the SCI has achieved full consensus on these 
recommendations, and a public comment period on the proposed modifications was 
opened on July 2nd 2016, and closed on August 14th 2016 
(https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-op-procedures-2016-07-05-en).

With the creation of the GNSO Review WG, these should be the final two projects 
the SCI will have worked on before it is standing-no-more, and I just wanted to 
say that working on this committee has been a pleasure. The SCI’s done some 
really solid work for the GNSO over the years, and its members have worked very 
well to give the GNSO Council recommendations that have been very diligently 
thought out. Both present and past members of the SCI have my gratitude.

Thanks.

Amr
