Please reconsider. Note that there are two positions to be<br>
filled in SCI, primary and alternate, and if Stefania moves<br>
from alternate to primary, it still leaves alternate free<br>
for new volunteers such as yourself.<br>
<br>
Also, while I indicated I'd be willing to take the alternate<br>
myself, it's not like I need more work, so I'd be only happy<br>
to spread the load and have someone active like you there.<br>
I'll be keeping close contact with our SCI representatives<br>
anyway, I don't need to be there myself.<br>
<br>
In general it's also better to have too many volunteers<br>
than too few. I would encourage all who think themselves<br>
able and willing to throw their hat in the ring and give<br>
the Policy Committee the rare luxury of having several<br>
good candidates to choose from.<br>

head :<br>
<blockquote>
<blockquote><br>
(1) how often does the SCI meet to discuss changes to the documents?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Usually once every two weeks for one hour as long as there are ongoing<br>
</blockquote>
projects the SCI is working on. When there are projects, most of the work<br>
(as is the case with all groups) takes place offline and over email. In the<br>
past, temporary sub-teams have also been set up to work intensively on<br>
something, before review by the full committee.<br>
<blockquote><br>
<blockquote>(2) how do suggested amendments / improvements get to the SCI...are<br>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
improvements generated by regular internal review in the SCI or are<br>
suggested changes transmitted by GNSO / NCUC / NPOC to the SCI for review<br>
,report and recommendation?<br>
<blockquote><br>
The SCI has the discretion to suggest initiation of work on a certain<br>
</blockquote>
topic, but this needs to be communicated to the GNSO Council. Normally, it<br>
is the Council that passes on questions/puzzles to the SCI, and ask the<br>
committee to have some fun with it.<br>
<blockquote><br>
In the recent past, there was an attempt by a GNSO constituency to<br>
</blockquote>
directly request the SCI to take up a project, but this was deemed as<br>
outside the normal process. If (for example) NCUC or NPOC want the SCI to<br>
review something, they would need to advise their representatives on the<br>
GNSO Council, and ask them to take it up with the full council first.<br>
<blockquote><br>
<blockquote>(3) How are suggested changes eventually made? Is it unilaterally or<br>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
does it come back for approval of the GNSO EC and /or membership.<br>
<blockquote><br>
The SCI needs to achieve full consensus on any recommended changes it<br>
</blockquote>
makes to the GNSO operating procedures. Before forwarding its<br>
recommendations to the council, a public comment period needs to be held,<br>
then finally a motion and a vote on the GNSO council for the GNSO to adopt<br>
the recommended changes. If ICANN bylaws need to be amended for any<br>
reasons, the ICANN board will need to hold a public comment period of its<br>
own, and have its own resolution to adopt changes.<br>
<blockquote><br>
<blockquote>Even if I don't put my hat in the ring I would love to hear more about<br>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
the SCI. I guess there is an SCI operating procedures manual lying around<br>
somewhere which speak to these matters. Maybe you could provide a link to<br>
it.Many thanks<br>
<blockquote><br>
Here is a link to the SCI's charter:<br>
</blockquote>
<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/2.+Charter" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosci/2.+Charter</a>. There is also a<br>
public record of all the work done by the SCI on its wiki page, so take<br>
time to browse through it, if you're interested.<br>
