Summary
Board requested that 1) Staff analyze existing GNSO constituencies' submissions (proposed charters) and public comments, and identify changes that the Board may want to request each constituency to make, and 2) follow-up submissions from constituencies, as needed, be provided to the Board by its June 2009 meeting to confirm that the constituencies have implemented recommended changes.
Text
Whereas, the ICANN Board requested that existing constituencies confirm their status with the Board by the February 2009 ICANN Meeting, and requires constituencies to formally confirm their status every 3 years to ensure that they continue to meet the requirements of Article X, Section 5, subsection 3 of the ICANN Bylaws. This is intended to be an opportunity for existing constituencies to demonstrate compliance with the principles of representativeness, openness, transparency and fairness set forth in the ICANN Bylaws.
Whereas, the six constituencies have complied with the Board's direction, and a forum, which closed 25 February 2009, solicited public comments on their submissions.
It is resolved (2009.03.06.01), that the Board acknowledges and thanks the six GNSO constituencies for their submissions and awaits completion of the following activities:
(1) Staff analysis of constituencies' submissions and public comments, and identification of changes that the Board may want to request each constituency to make over the coming months to ensure that their charters (and subsequent activities), comply with the principles contained in the Bylaws, and expanded upon in the GNSO Improvements Report and subsequent GNSO restructuring resolutions approved by the Board last year.
(2) Follow-up submissions from constituencies, as needed, provided to the Board no later than its June 2009 meeting to confirm that the constituencies have implemented recommended changes.
