3. In late 2017 and early 2018, GNSO Council members as well as subject matter experts from GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies joined the SCBO;
4. In FY18, the SCBO developed four public comments (IANA-PTI FY19 Budget, ICANN's Reserve Fund Target Level, ICANN’s Draft FY19 Budget and Operating Plan, and ICANN Reserve Fund: Proposed Replenishment Strategy) on behalf of the GNSO Council that were later accepted and posted to ICANN’s public forum; and
5. On 17 September 2018, the SCBO delivered an After-Action Report on the SCBO experiences and lessons learned wherein the report suggested that the SCBO charter did not warrant any changes and that the SCBO become a permanent Standing Committee of the GNSO Council.
