[bc-gnso] Update on GNSO reform issues

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@xxxxxx>]

Colleagues,
As you may have seen last week the Board has recently acknowledged a couple of 
reform
relevant issues.
1. The timetable to seat the new GNSO Council has slipped past the June meeting 
in Sydney.
Council has asked for a new date. (The terms of office for current BC Council 
members extend
to October 2009 and beyond so this causes no immediate issue for us).
 
2. There has been concern about certain proposed stakeholder group (SG) 
charters and
revisions will be proposed by staff. We do not know at this stage more detail 
but this may
include our own Commercial SG charter. More detail has been requested.
 
Changes to the internal BC charter recently discussed were primarily to make it 
compatible
with the seating timetable and the proposed SG charter. Given the events 
described above the
BC officers have decided to wait for further information before proceeding with 
changes to
our BC charter.
