>> Brief Overview
>> Originating Organization:
>> ICANN Board: Structural Improvements Committee (SIC)
>> Categories/Tags:
>> Reviews/Improvements
>> Purpose (Brief):
>> To solicit community feedback concerning a formalized process, proposed
by the Board's Structural Improvements Committee (SIC), for amending
GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Charters.
>>
>> Current Status:
>> After multiple iterations and thorough discussion by its members over
several months, the SIC has approved a recommendation that a proposed
GNSO Charter Amendment Procedure (described below) be posted for public
comment.
>>
>> Next Steps:
>> Upon receipt and review of community feedback pursuant to this
solicitation, the SIC will determine if any substantive changes to the
proposed procedure are advisable and will subsequently consider
requesting ICANN Board approval of the process.

>> Detailed Information
>> Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose:
>> The ICANN Bylaws (Article X, Section 5.3) state, "Each [GNSO]
Stakeholder Group ⦠and each of its associated Constituencies shall
maintain recognition with the ICANN Board." During this time of
significant organizational changes within ICANN and its GNSO community,
it is important that Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies have the
flexibility to update, modify and evolve their charters so that those
governing documents remain accurate and viable. There is currently no
formalized procedure for a GNSO Stakeholder Group or Constituency to
request recognition by the ICANN Board of Directors for a charter
amendment. To address this procedural gap, the Boardâs Structural
Improvements Committee (SIC) has formulated a process (below) that is
intended to accommodate the periodic need to amend charter documents
with the ICANN Bylaws requirement for formal validation by the Board.
>>
>> GNSO Structures Charter Amendment Process â As Proposed
>>
>> Phase I: Amendment Preparation
>>
>> GNSO Stakeholder Groups (SGs) and Constituencies should formulate
charter amendments through their own internal processes and notify
policy-staff@xxxxxxxxx upon initiation of such efforts. [Note: If the
SG Charter requires it, proposed amendment(s) to Constituency Charters
must first be submitted to the applicable SG for review and evaluation
before being forwarded to Staff and Board.]
>>
>> Phase II: Staff Review
>>
>> Upon receipt of the proposed amendment(s), ICANN Staff will analyze the
proposal and, within 10 business days, submit the community proposal
with a report to the Board identifying any fiscal or liability
concerns.
>>
>> Phase III: Public Comments
>>
>> After Board review of the Staff report and the proposed charter
amendments, the Board will direct the opening of a Public Comment
Forum. Upon its completion, within 30 calendar days, Staff will provide
a report summarizing the community feedback.
>>
>> Phase IV: Board Review
>>
>> At the next available opportunity after the publication of the Staff
report the Board shall either:
>>
>> Recognize the proposed charter amendment by a simple majority vote; or
>> Reject the proposed amendment by a supermajority (2/3) vote and provide
a specific rationale for its concerns.
>> In its review of the proposed amendments, the ICANN Board may ask
questions and otherwise consult with the affected SG or Constituency.
If it is not feasible for the Board to take action on the proposed
amendments after two meetings, the Board shall report to the affected
SG or Constituency the circumstance(s) that prevented it from making a
final action and its best estimate of the time required to reach an
action.
>>
>> Section II: Background:
>> In July 2009, as part of the comprehensive GNSO Improvements program,
the ICANN Board approved the formal Charters of four new GNSO
Stakeholder Groups (SGs) (see ICANN Board Resolution 2009.30.07.09). A
Constituency Charter reconfirmation effort was initiated by a Board
resolution at its 1 October 2008 meeting and discontinued in 2009 in
favor of a new regular review cycle.
>>
>> During the intervening three years or so, there had been no additional
formal charter activity until May 2012 at which time the Registry
Stakeholder Group (RySG) submitted a set of changes to its charter.
After discussing the substance of the RySG's amendments, the Structural
Improvements Committee (SIC) determined that a process should exist
that would cause charter amendments to be formally reviewed not only by
the Board, but the ICANN community as well before being finalized.
>>
>> The SIC has now asked the staff to seek community review and comment on
the proposed process outlined above.
>>
>> Section III: Document and Resource Links:
>> None
>>
>> Section IV: Additional Information:
>> SIC Meeting Minutes - 6 April 2013
>> SIC Meeting Minutes - 28 March 2013
>> SIC Meeting Minutes - 31 January 2013
>> (*) Comments submitted after the posted Close Date/Time are not
guaranteed to be considered in any final summary, analysis, reporting,
or decision-making that takes place once this period lapses.

lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The
ICANN Bylaws (Article X, Section 5.3) state, "Each [GNSO] Stakeholder Group …
and each of its associated Constituencies shall maintain recognition with the
ICANN Board." During this time of significant organizational changes
within ICANN and its GNSO community, it is important that Stakeholder Groups
and Constituencies have the flexibility to update, modify and evolve their
charters so that those governing documents remain accurate and viable. There is
currently no formalized procedure for a GNSO Stakeholder Group or Constituency
to request recognition by the ICANN Board of Directors for a charter amendment.
To address this procedural gap, the Board’s Structural Improvements Committee
(SIC) has formulated a process (below) that is intended to accommodate the
periodic need to amend charter documents with the ICANN Bylaws requirement for
formal validation by the Board.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h3><span lang="EN-US"

II: Background: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In July 2009, as
part of the comprehensive GNSO Improvements program, the ICANN Board approved
the formal Charters of four new GNSO Stakeholder Groups (SGs) (see ICANN Board
Resolution 2009.30.07.09). A Constituency Charter reconfirmation effort was
initiated by a Board resolution at its 1 October 2008 meeting and discontinued
in 2009 in favor of a new regular review cycle.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span
lang="EN-US"
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">During the
intervening three years or so, there had been no additional formal charter
activity until May 2012 at which time the Registry Stakeholder Group (RySG)
submitted a set of changes to its charter. After discussing the substance of
the RySG's amendments, the Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) determined
that a process should exist that would cause charter amendments to be formally
reviewed not only by the Board, but the ICANN community as well before being
finalized.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The SIC has now
asked the staff to seek community review and comment on the proposed process
outlined above.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span
