ICANN71 marks the 3rd ccNSO Governance Session, building on the previous sessions at ICANN69 and ICANN70. The goal of this ICANN71 session is to consult the ccNSO membership on the proposed high level structure of the revised Members Rules of the ccNSO. The new Rules will have a direct impact on the governance structure of the ccNSO, specifically on the respective roles and responsibilities of the Council and ccNSO membership.The current internal ccNSO Member Rules were adopted in 2004, and since then the ccNSO has evolved: on the one hand it went from 40+ to 172 members, and on the other hand the ccNSO evolved from an organisation with limited scope and mandate to being one of the five Decisional Participants. The results of the session will provide the basis for further work on the new Rules, which will be presented during ICANN72.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION from David McAuley, regarding updating the ccNSO Internal Rules. David is session chair for the ICANN71 ccNSO Governance Session. He is also chair of the GRC sub-group working on the new set of rules for the ccNSO.

If approved, the recommendation will be put forth to the ccNSO members to vote on.
