Summary:

1. GNSO council “consent agenda”

It was agreed that a consent agenda item could be added to the regular council meeting agenda to provide for more efficient management of tasks in certain cases. A best practice approach may be followed.

J. Scott volunteered to provide the group with a proposal based on experiences gained by other groups.

Time: mid April, 2012-03-12

Until a final recommendation shall be in place the council should handle a consent agenda item as already started. It is the common view that consent agenda items can be carried only if there is no objection.

2. Future items

It is the common view that the SCI should not deal with the current GNSO structure. This shall be a task for the whole GNSO community in light of a potential restructuring that may be triggered by the implementation of the New gTLD program. The board has already initiated the discussion.

The SCI shall start a “review” of the Working Group model experience. Marika and Wolf-Ulrich shall work on a short survey of WGs having already gained experience under the new model. GNSO-external WGs having followed this or similar models shall be included in the survey.

3. Next meeting: after mid April.
