- Read the RDS PDP Termination Summary
Accordingly, no further RDS PDP WG meetings will be held, and this workspace reflects progress made prior to RDS PDP termination.

What is this about?
The Bylaws Implementation Drafting Team (DT) was created in part to provide the GNSO Council with a draft implementation plan for any necessary updates to the GNSO Operating Procedures, or possibly the Bylaws as they relate to the GNSO, arising as a result of the revised ICANN Bylaws that were adopted in May. The Council requested that this DT submit the proposed implementation plan by 30 September (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20160630-2 for the full Council resolution), but later extended that timeline. Following that initial task, the DT will now determine what (if any) existing GNSO processes can be used to address that new or additional obligation, and if there are none, whether an existing process can be modified or if a new process needs to be created.
Why is this important?
The DT will, as directed by the GNSO Council, identify all the new or additional rights and responsibilities that the GNSO has under the revised Bylaws, including but not limited to participation of the GNSO within the Empowered Community, and to develop new or modified structures and procedures (as necessary) to fully implement these new or additional rights and responsibilities.
What is the current status of the project?
To assist in the DT’s initial work, staff prepared a table that was distributed to the GNSO Council and to the DT. Staff has continued to refine the table and to produce analysis concerning areas where changes may need to be made to the GNSO Operating Procedures or Bylaws. The initial staff table can be found on the GNSO website at https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/revised-bylaws-notes-comments-procedures-14jun16-en.pdf.
What are the Expected next steps?
The DT is considering possible updates to the GNSO Operating Procedures, or the Bylaws.

Background
On 30 June 2016 the GNSO Council approved the creation of a DT that was to work with ICANN staff to “fully identify all the new or additional rights and responsibilities that the GNSO has under the revised Bylaws, including but not limited to participation of the GNSO within the Empowered Community, and to develop new or modified structures and procedures (as necessary) to fully implement these new or additional rights and responsibilities”. In creating the DT, the GNSO Council requested that the DT provide the GNSO Council with an implementation plan “which will have the consensus of the Drafting Team, including any recommendations for needed further changes to ICANN Bylaws and/or GNSO Operating Procedures to enable effective GNSO participation in ICANN activities under the revised ICANN Bylaws, not later than 30 September 2016”. After the GNSO Counci provided the DT with an extension, the DT submitted its Final Report to the GNSO Council on 12 October 2016 (https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/bylaws-drafting-team-final-report-12oct16-en.pdf), along with a Minority Statement (https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/bylaws-drafting-team-minority-report-10oct16-en.pdf). The GNSO Council accepted the report on 01 December 2016 (https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+1+December+2016).
