Summary and Analysis of Public Comments on Permanent Charter of GNSO's 
Commercial Stakeholder Group





Comment period:  2 December 2010 – 23 January 2011



Summary published: 25 January 2011



Prepared by: Robert Hoggarth, Senior Policy Director, ICANN staff



Background:



As part of the comprehensive GNSO Improvements effort, last July the ICANN 
Board approved (see ICANN Board Resolution 
2009.30.07.09<http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-30jul09.htm>) the 
Charters of four new GNSO Stakeholder Groups (SGs). These SG structures 
represented a new concept for the GNSO that was envisioned by the Board 
Governance Committee GNSO Review Working Group On GNSO Improvements (BGC WG 
-see the BGC WG's February 2008 Report 
here<http://www.icann.org/en/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-report-03feb08.pdf>
 [PDF, 193 KB]).



The Charter approved for the Commercial Stakeholders Group (CSG) last July was 
termed a "transitional" 
charter<http://gnso.icann.org/improvements/csg-approved-charter-30jul09.pdf> 
[PDF, 32 KB]. Sections 3 and 8.2 of that transitional charter anticipated 
future CSG efforts to establish a permanent “final' charter document. The 
Constituencies of the CSG (Commercial and Business, Intellectual Property and 
Internet Service and Connection Providers) have informed ICANN Staff that they 
have now ratified a permanent charter document.



A copy of the ratified CSG Charter document can be found at -

Consistent with the Board's oversight authority regarding GNSO Stakeholder 
Group Charters (see ICANN Bylaws Article 
X<http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#X>, Section 5 (3)), the Staff is 
opening this public comment forum to seek community comments on the new 
permanent CSG charter document.



All members of the ICANN community were invited to review the new charter and 
share comments and observations with the Board and the wider community through 
23 January 2011.



General comments:



No public comments were received during the public comment period.



Next Steps:



Consistent with the ICANN Bylaws and past charter review efforts, the ICANN 
Board will review the Charter consistent with the ICANN Bylaw principles.
