At-Large Workspace: Registries Stakeholder Group Charter Amendments

The RySG amended its charter to reflect its current practices, align with its operating procedures, and accommodate its evolving needs. It also accounts for best practices for the GNSO such as the GNSO Operating Procedures and the ICANN Bylaws.

  • The CPWG has decided not to provide a public comment statement for this proceeding.
