Assuming that I have tracked approval for the OSC Charter edits in the 
message below, the following OSC members have approved the edits:
    * Olga Cavalli (NomCom Appointee)
    * Robin Gross (Non Commercial Users Constituency)
    * Wolf-Ulrich Knoben (Internet Service & Connectivity Providers
      Constituency)
    * Philip Sheppard (Business Constituency)
    * Steve Metalits (Intellectual Property Constituency)
    * Stéphane Van Gelder (Registrar Constituency)
That means that we still need approvals from the following:
 
# Bertrand de La Chapelle (GAC)
# Robin Gross (Non Commercial Users Constituency)
# Vanda Scartezini (ALAC)
# Ken Stubbs or David Maher (Registries Constituency)
 
It would be very helpful to complete this on the list quickly to avoid 
having to schedule a special meeting.   To allow for a Council motion 
seven days in advance of the 29 Jan Council meeting, we need approvals 
NLT 21 Jan.

*Subject:* [gnso-osc] Council recommended reasons to the OSC Charter
A few edits were recommended by the Council for the OSC Charter 
yesterday.  The first edits were suggested by Tim Ruiz and pertain to 
Section III, Work Team Rules contained in each of the work team draft 
charters; they are highlighted in the attached file.
 
The second change was proposed by Mike Rodenbaugh in Section C of the 
Charter under 'Membership of the OSC' that currently reads as follows:
 
"*C. OSC Operations Processes*
/Membership in the OSC/
Initially, the OSC will be comprised of the following members:
. GNSO council chair and/or vice chair
. 1 representative from each constituency (need not be a Council member)
. 1 Nominating Committee appointee to the GNSO
/Other Participants in the OSC/
. Optional liaisons or appointed representatives from the ALAC and the GAC
. OSC Work Team Chairs
. GNSO secretariat
. 1 ICANN policy staff representative"
In the first bullet, Mike recommends changing 'chair and/or vice 
chair' to say 'chair or vice chair'.  As you know, that is actually 
what we ended up doing for the OSC and PPSC, Avri serving on the PPSC 
and me on the OSC.
If you approve these edits, please affirmatively respond on this 
list.  If you do not, please respond on this list indicating your reasons.
We need support from at least one representative from each group on 
the OSC.  Hopefully we can do this on the list in the next week so we 
don't need to schedule a meeting.
I will start it off by saying that I support the edits.
Chuck
