- No additional Bylaws amendments related to the GNSO Improvements implementation effort have been proposed since the August 2009 Board meeting, but a number of amendments could be prompted by recommendations growing from substantial activities taking place within the GNSO community as various work teams, steering committees and stakeholder groups continue discussion about how to implement the various improvements recommendations. The process has been complex and long, but substantial community input is producing results.
