Seconded by: 

WHEREAS, in October 2008, the GNSO Council established a framework for 
implementing the various GNSO Improvements

http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-26jun08.htm
identified and approved 
by the ICANN Board of Directors on 26 June 2008;

WHEREAS, that framework included the formation, in January 2009, of two 
Steering Committees, the Operations Steering Committee (OSC) and the Policy 
Process Steering Committee (PPSC), to charter and coordinate the efforts of 
five community work teams in developing specific recommendations to implement 
the improvements;

WHEREAS, the OSC established three work teams, including the Constituency and 
Stakeholder Group Operations Work Team, which were chartered to focus on 
specific operational areas addressed in the Board Governance Committee (BGC) 
Report recommendations;

WHEREAS, one of the recommendations in BGC Report was to develop and implement 
a targeted outreach program to explore the formation of new constituency 
groups; 

WHEREAS, the Constituency and Stakeholder Group Operations Work Team (CSG-WT) 
was tasked with developing the recommendations on a global outreach program and 
submitted the document to the OSC for consideration on 21 January 2011;

WHEREAS, the OSC submitted to the GNSO Council on 14 February 2011 the document 
“Recommendations to Develop a Global Outreach Program to Broaden Participation 
in the GNSO 
http://www.icann.org/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-report-03feb08.pdf;

WHEREAS, at its meeting on 24 February 2011 the GNSO Council accepted the 
document and directed staff to submit the document for 45 days in the ICANN 
Public Comment Forum;

WHEREAS, at its meeting on 19 May 2011 the GNSO Council determined that as 
there were no public comments that required changes to the document the work of 
the OSC with respect to the global outreach program recommendations was 
complete and directed staff to seek volunteers to form a Outreach Task Force 
Charter Drafting Team (OTF DT);

WHEREAS, an OTF DT was formed and it drafted a Charter that it presented to the 
GNSO Council Chair on 08 September 2011;

WHEREAS, the GNSO Council Chair sent the Draft Charter to the GNSO Council and 
asked Councilors to share the document with their respective groups and to 
provide comments by 10 October 2011;

WHEREAS, on 18 October 2011 the OTF DT provided to the GNSO Council a revised 
Draft Charter [insert link] based on comments it received;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council approves the Draft Charter [insert link], 
thanks the OTF DT for its efforts on this important initiative, and dissolves 
the OTF DT;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council requests staff to seek volunteers for 
Chair and Vice Chair of the OTF.
