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
