<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=215512713-21102010>I'm attaching for
review and comment a draft of our Commercial Stakeholders Group
Charter. We prepared this draft with active participation from
volunteers from all three constituencies, including the CSG Executive
Committee and with the help of two of our BC members who volunteered for
the drafting team, Philip Shepherd and Ron Andruff as well as several other BC
members who attended and contributed to our drafting session in DC last
week. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=215512713-21102010>As you'll see from
the attached, the CSG Charter builds upon the framework Philip drafted
for our interim charter. It keeps all substantitve decision making
within each Constituency, but outlines those areas where the CSG can work
together on issues of common interest. ICANN staff also contributed
various standard provisions that are required in all charter
drafting. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<STRONG>The deadline is one week from today -- Thursday October
28</STRONG>. All three Constituencies will be collecting comments during
the next week with the goal of finalizing this shortly
thereafter.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
