For review:

Notes from previous meeting:

- Consent agenda / voting results table: Staff to post public comment analysis and close forum & draft motion so that GNSO Council can consider revised GNSO Operating Procedures for adoption at its next meeting on 13 September

- Proxy Voting Procedure: Submit note to the GNSO Council and include recommendation in the draft motion

- Deferral of motions: Ron: Consider looking at this issue again in 1 year, with light tough route. Avri: might not be necessary to review again in 1 year, can be raised by the Council at any time. NCSG against hard limit of only one time deferral. J.Scott: current practice doesn't allow saying 'no' to deferral. Ray: Chair does have the discretion to take decisions in a neutral position. Possible option C that allows Chair to have discretion to make decision whether deferral is allowed or not. Avri: Chair already has that discretion as nothing prevents the Chair currently to interpret it one way or another as there is no policy / rules. Anne: From where in the GOP does the Chair get the authority to overrule one way or another? Avri: deferral is a rule for PDPs, but in other cases it is a practice / courtesy. Wolf: possible compromise: continue current practice of one deferral and discretion of chair should be kept, even if not written in stone. SCI to monitor the situation for at least one year. Ron: consider status quo remains, however, it should be made clear that chair has discretion to allow or disallow deferral based on information at hand. Anne: SCI can not decide the 'powers' of the Chair. J.Scott: Practice stays at it is and reviewed by Staff over time. In reasoning SCI could explain that there is a safety valve as it was developed as an organic process under the courtesy /discretion of the Chair. J.Scott to provide some draft language for SCI to consider.

- Toronto meeting: SCI meeting on Saturday from 9.00 - 10.00 (local time)

- Next meeting: 13 September at 19.00 UTC.
