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

["WUKnoben" <wolf-ulrich.knoben@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Amr,

I also perceive the SCI tasks as completed after a positive council vote, 
with the consequence to disband the SCI.
With regards to seconding the motion I refer to the revision of the GNSO 
procedures suggested (chapter 3.3.3.1 No. 3.):
"At any time prior and up to the time that GNSO Council discussion on the 
motion commences at
the Council meeting, a Councilor other than the motion proposer may second 
the submitted
motion, either in response to the proposer’s request or to a call for a 
seconder by the GNSO
Chair or Secretariat."
So far I'm expecting a call for a seconder by the GNSO Chair or Secretariat.

Best regards

Wolf-Ulrich

Hi again,

I’ve attached a revised motion to this email. Apart from making the changes 
recommended by Rubens.
I’ve also taken the opportunity to follow up on a motion from the Council’s 
July 16th meeting disbanding the SCI following the completion of the two 
tasks addressed in this motion. So if the Council does vote in favour of 
this motion, I thought it’d make sense to officially disband the SCI in the 
process.
Thoughts?

Thanks.

Amr
