> Dear Community Members:

> At last Thursday's Board meeting, the Directors considered a number of

> Specifically, the Board adopted resolutions <*
> http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-30jul09.htm*>  that: (i)
> approved all of the Stakeholder Group Charters as recommended by the
> Structural Improvements Committee, and (ii) approved the ability of the
> Contracted Party House to select Board Seat #13, and the ability of the Non
> Contracted Party House to select Board Seat #14.
>
> The Board also discussed pending new Constituency applications, and
> acknowledged that Staff is posting a complete set of Bylaws Amendments for
> public comment.  The Amendments, which have been posted <*
> http://icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-200908.html#gnso-restructure
> *> , reflect the Board's recent decisions and other GNSO restructuring
> matters necessary to seat the new Council.
>
> Please note that these Bylaw Amendments (Version 2)  address a number of
> issues that impact the work of the GNSO Restructuring Work Teams. Because
> these proposed Bylaws include provisions that the GNSO Restructuring
> Drafting Team did not review during its work, Staff posted two documents to
> assist the community in its review.   One document highlights the
> differences between the GNSO proposed Bylaws proposals (<*
> http://icann.org/en/general/proposed-gnso-council-bylaw-amendments-notes-comments-03aug09-en.pdf
> >*) and the other is a Staff Explanation for some of the more substantive
> amendments included in Version 2 (<*
> http://icann.org/en/general/proposed-gnso-council-bylaw-amendments-explanation03aug09-en.pdf
> >*). These include a discussion of issues such as: changes to Annex A;
> additional voting threshold for certain contracting parties; and procedures
> for adopting the GNSO Operating Rules and Procedures.

> We encourage the GNSO Restructuring Work Teams to review and discuss these
> materials at their next meetings, and to provide comments during the public

> comprehensive set of amendments at its 27 August meeting.

> Additional information on GNSO Improvements follow-up actions that should
> be completed in the next few months will be posted shortly.
