[gnso-osc-ops] GNSO Council Resolution: Approval of GCOT and CSG Deliverables

["Ken Bour" <ken.bour@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Olga, Chuck, GCOT, and CSG Teams: 

 

Julie asked me to forward this resolution to the appropriate email lists --
today is the deadline for filing motions that will be voted at the GNSO
Council meeting on 5 August 2010.  

 

The resolution (below) is now cleaned and rewritten based upon the latest
feedback from those who have been participating in its formulation.   You
will notice a couple of important changes:  (1) there is now a link to the
new GOP (v2.0) which can also be found on page:
http://gnso.icann.org/council/docs.html; and (2) a new RESOLVE FURTHER
clause has been added to clarify that the GOP, if approved, becomes
effective immediately. 

 

My understanding is that Olga will submit this motion to the GNSO Council
this evening.  

 

Ken Bour
