Dear Karel,



I apologize if my message wasn't clear enough. We are always short on volunteers, and, beside, there are the gigantic shoes of Avri and Amr to fill... so plenty of work for anyone!!



I am looking fw to work with you, should we be selected.



Stefania

Karel,



Please reconsider. Note that there are two positions to be

filled in SCI, primary and alternate, and if Stefania moves

from alternate to primary, it still leaves alternate free

for new volunteers such as yourself.



Also, while I indicated I'd be willing to take the alternate

myself, it's not like I need more work, so I'd be only happy

to spread the load and have someone active like you there.

I'll be keeping close contact with our SCI representatives

anyway, I don't need to be there myself.



In general it's also better to have too many volunteers

than too few. I would encourage all who think themselves

able and willing to throw their hat in the ring and give

the Policy Committee the rare luxury of having several

good candidates to choose from.

All ,



In light of Stefania's email where she indicated that she had

already telegraphed her interest to the Committee , and in the spirit of

consensus in the community I would respectfully withdraw my "candidacy" as

a volunteer.



Best regards



Karel DOUGLAS

Dear all



I have already made my availability known to the NCSG Policy Committee

but forgot to do so on this list.



I believe serving on SCI would be particularly helpful in view of my

recent election to the GNSO Council.



Best, Stefania

Dear All,



I have read up on some of the documents and browsed the SCI site with the

current work up for consideration, previous work done in 2014, 2013 , etc

and would be happy to volunteer as an alternate.



I hoping that my legal training and experience in corporate governance

would benefit the SCI.



kind regards

Thanks AMR for your very comprehensive and detailed reply. Yes - your

answer has helped!



I will certainly do some reading up on the SCI charter and take a look at

the public record of the work done to date by the SCI.



Many thanks buddy!



kind regards

Thanks Avri et al



Avri - blunt and to the point is always appreciated.



As a newbie I have a couple brief questions which are flying around my

head :



(1) how often does the SCI meet to discuss changes to the documents?



Usually once every two weeks for one hour as long as there are ongoing

projects the SCI is working on. When there are projects, most of the work

(as is the case with all groups) takes place offline and over email. In the

past, temporary sub-teams have also been set up to work intensively on

something, before review by the full committee.



(2) how do suggested amendments / improvements get to the SCI...are

improvements generated by regular internal review in the SCI or are

suggested changes transmitted by GNSO / NCUC / NPOC to the SCI for review

,report and recommendation?



The SCI has the discretion to suggest initiation of work on a certain

topic, but this needs to be communicated to the GNSO Council. Normally, it

is the Council that passes on questions/puzzles to the SCI, and ask the

committee to have some fun with it.



In the recent past, there was an attempt by a GNSO constituency to

directly request the SCI to take up a project, but this was deemed as

outside the normal process. If (for example) NCUC or NPOC want the SCI to

review something, they would need to advise their representatives on the

GNSO Council, and ask them to take it up with the full council first.



(3) How are suggested changes eventually made? Is it unilaterally or

does it come back for approval of the GNSO EC and /or membership.



The SCI needs to achieve full consensus on any recommended changes it

makes to the GNSO operating procedures. Before forwarding its

recommendations to the council, a public comment period needs to be held,

then finally a motion and a vote on the GNSO council for the GNSO to adopt

the recommended changes. If ICANN bylaws need to be amended for any

reasons, the ICANN board will need to hold a public comment period of its

own, and have its own resolution to adopt changes.



Even if I don't put my hat in the ring I would love to hear more about

the SCI. I guess there is an SCI operating procedures manual lying around

somewhere which speak to these matters. Maybe you could provide a link to

it.Many thanks



Here is a link to the SCI's charter:

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/2.+Charter. There is also a

public record of all the work done by the SCI on its wiki page, so take

time to browse through it, if you're interested.



I hope this helps.



Thanks.



Amr
