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?

(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?

(3) How are suggested changes eventually made? Is it unilaterally or does
it come back for approval of the GNSO EC and /or membership.

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

Have a great day everybody!

regards

Karel DOUGLAS
