[bc-gnso] Board action on GNSO Restructuring

[BC Secretariat]

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
