Subject: [gnso-imp-staff] Board action on GNSO Restructuring



Dear Community Members:

At today's Board meeting, Directors considered the status of Stakeholder
Group (SG) formation and acknowledged that the GNSO community has made an
effort to comply with the Board's timetable for GNSO restructuring (i.e.
seating a new Council in Sydney), that the Board has received proposed SG
charters for review, and that the restructuring schedule has slipped past
Sydney.  The Board approved a resolution that: noted that the proposed SG
charters require revisions to ensure equitable participation and
representation by new constituencies; directed the Board's Structural
Improvements Committee (SIC) and ICANN Staff to propose changes to the SG
charters to make them consistent with the Board?s stated objectives; and
directed the SIC to post the revised charters, and an explanatory
memorandum, for GNSO consultation and public comment.

The resolution will be posted by the Board Secretariat shortly at
<http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/>, but I wanted to alert you to this
development ASAP.  Additional information will be posted/distributed as soon
as it's available.

Regards,
Denise
