[Tim Ruiz]

Chuck,

I'd to like propose a friendly amendment to your motion. I've
incorporated it
into the full motion below. The amendment involves adding the last
Whereas and
replacing the RESOLVED paragraph with the one included below. It
incorporates
the steps Liz noted, making it clear that the
requirements/specifications of
requesting support are yet to be determined.

Motion To Approve Tool Kit of Services Recommendations for GNSO
Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups

Motion by: Chuck Gomes
Seconded by: 

Whereas the Board Governance Committee Report on GNSO Improvements (BGC
Report) tasked ICANN staff with developing, within six months, in
consultation with the GNSO Council, a “tool kit” of basic services
that would be made available to all constituencies. (See Report of the
Board Governance Committee GNSO Review Working Group on GNSO
Improvements, 3 February 2008 located at
http://www.icann.org/en/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-report-03feb08.pdf,
p. 46.);

Whereas the ICANN Board approved the BGC GNSO Improvement
Recommendations on 26 June 2008
(http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-26jun08.htm#_Toc76113182);

Whereas in January 2009 the GNSO Council formed the Operations Steering
Committee (OSC) to develop recommendations to implement operational
changes contained in the BGC Report;

Whereas the OSC established three Work Teams, including the GNSO
Stakeholder Group and Constituency Operations Work Team, to take on the
work of each of the three operational areas addressed in the BGC Report
recommendations; 

Whereas the GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Operations Work Team
developed and approved Tool Kit Services Recommendations for GNSO
Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups on 25 October 2009 and sent them
to the OSC for review;

Whereas the OSC accepted the Work Team's recommendations; 

Whereas on 5 Nov 09 the document was distributed to the Council list and
Councilors were asked to forward the recommendations to their respective
groups for review and comment ASAP with the tentative goal of Council
action in our December meeting;

Whereas the implementation of the toolkit has process and budgetary
implications;

RESOLVED, the Council approves the recommendations
(http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/tool-kit-services-recommendations-for-gnso-05nov09-en.pdf)
and directs Staff to 1. Share the recommendations with the Board and
post the document on the GNSO web page at http://gnso.icann.org/; 2.
Determine the cost of the services; 3. Determine what funds might be
available; 4. Prioritize the list of services; 5. Develop specifications
for providing the services, including requirements for their use and
procedures for requesting them; and 6. Notify the GNSO organizations of
the services and specifications.
