Summary
Board directs the CEO to post for public comment the proposed Registry Stakeholder Group Charter Amendment.
Text
Whereas, The ICANN Bylaws (Article X, Section 5.3) state, "Each [GNSO] Stakeholder Group shall maintain recognition with the ICANN Board."
Whereas, the GNSO Registry Stakeholder Group (RySG) has alerted ICANN Staff and the Board to a set of changes to its Charter including expanding the activities of its internal Observers Group and simplifying the process for assessment of annual dues.
Whereas, the Board believes community review and comment of the RySG charter changes can provide a useful input to the Board;
Resolved (2012.10.03.02) that the CEO is directed to open a Public Comment Forum asking for community review and comment on the changes that the Registry Stakeholder Group has proposed to its charter.
Implementation Actions
- Open a Public Comment Forum seeking community review and comment on the proposed changes to the Registry Stakeholder Group Charter
- Responsible entity: CEO
- Due date: None provided
- Completion date: 11 October 2012
Rationale
In July 2009, as part of the comprehensive GNSO Improvements program, the ICANNBoard approved the formal Charters of four new GNSO Stakeholder Groups (see ICANN Board Resolution 2009.30.07.09).
The ICANN Bylaws (Article X, Section 5.3) state, "Each Stakeholder Group shall maintain recognition with the ICANN Board." The Board believes that review of SG charter changes is an important part of its obligation to maintain recognition of the GNSO Stakeholder Groups. The Board believes that community review and comments of SG charter changes can assist the Board in its evaluation process regarding changes to the RySG Charter.
This decision is a Board-level Organizational Administrative Function – public comment sought.
