<p class="MsoNormal">During its meeting on 24 June 2015, the GNSO Council unanimously adopted the recommendations of the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group (see:
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_drafts_policy-2Dimplementation-2Drecommendations-2D01jun15-2Den.pdf&d=BQMGaQ&c=XRWvQHnpdBDRh-yzrHjqLpXuHNC_9nanQc6pPG_SpT0&r=6lUxzkhJPN5qts-Nve5TYqxoGjP81z1kCvXgsmw-MiQ&m=tmzOEK8hpQWx_Rhh5shUR7aoJdRhtm0Ud_aigIS4oxw&s=atr0oq9f-JjZVWNcl4N3m8qqEqoUnBGrnfTtSaj7K0I&e=" target="_blank">
http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/policy-implementation-recommendations-01jun15-en.pdf</a>), which was tasked to address a number of questions as they relate to GNSO policy and implementation. Among others, these recommendations include three proposed new GNSO
processes, two of which—the GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) and the GNSO Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP)—require changes to the ICANN Bylaws<a name="14ee7ea814237fb4_note1"></a><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2Dcomments_bylaws-2Damendments-2D2015-2D07-2D31-2Den-23foot1&d=BQMGaQ&c=XRWvQHnpdBDRh-yzrHjqLpXuHNC_9nanQc6pPG_SpT0&r=6lUxzkhJPN5qts-Nve5TYqxoGjP81z1kCvXgsmw-MiQ&m=tmzOEK8hpQWx_Rhh5shUR7aoJdRhtm0Ud_aigIS4oxw&s=zmceCA0evjKgWInw2AdO9ZysZOUcMYCycKOrVgPADMk&e=" target="_blank" title=""><sup>1</sup></a>
subject to ICANN Board approval. Per its resolution of 28 July 2015 (see: <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources_board-2Dmaterial_resolutions-2D2015-2D07-2D28-2Den-231.c&d=BQMGaQ&c=XRWvQHnpdBDRh-yzrHjqLpXuHNC_9nanQc6pPG_SpT0&r=6lUxzkhJPN5qts-Nve5TYqxoGjP81z1kCvXgsmw-MiQ&m=tmzOEK8hpQWx_Rhh5shUR7aoJdRhtm0Ud_aigIS4oxw&s=qAnw0-8yT0uGGjz5eIvLuEMfl3i8WOtlT0XtOm20TmI&e=" target="_blank">
https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2015-07-28-en#1.c</a>), the ICANN Board has directed that these proposed changes to the ICANN Bylaws be posted for public comment prior to ICANN Board consideration.
