At ICANN57 in Hyderabad in November 2016, the GNSO Council approved a motion conditioning the future participation of the GNSO as a Chartering Organization of the CCWG on Internet Governance (CCWG-IG) upon a comprehensive review of the group’s Charter by the CCWG-IG, in accordance with the Framework of Uniform Principles for CCWGs that had been adopted recently by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils (http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/uniform-framework-principles-recommendations-16sep16-en.pdf). In its resolution, the GNSO Council had noted that the CCWG-IG’s future work is expected to be subject to a clear work plan, with regular updates and clear deliverables, and had requested that, by ICANN58, the CCWG-IG was to report on its findings, which report may include a revised charter, and the CCWG-IG was to also consider whether it will be preferable to reconstitute the group under a new structure (https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions - 20161107-3). The CCWG-IG provided a written report on its 2016 activity and a draft revised Charter for the GNSO Council’s consideration on 10th March 2017 (http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/019816.html).

At its Public Meeting at ICANN58 in Copenhagen on 15 March 2017 and its joint meeting with the ccNSO Council on 13 March 2017, the Council engaged in a discussion with the CCWG-IG co-chairs regarding the group’s reports. At the GNSO Council’s call on 18 May 2017, the Council continued its discussion of the topic.
