In Brief
Following the adoption by the GNSO Council of the revised GNSO Operating Procedures, as well as the proposed modifications to the ICANN Bylaws which were adopted by the ICANN Board of Directors on 13 May 2018, staff has outlined in this table the additional proposed steps to be taken to ensure preparedness as well as facilitate the ability for the GNSO Council to act in relation to the new roles and responsibilities outlined in the post-transition Bylaws.
As previously agreed, staff has developed draft templates for motions or other actions as draft Google Documents at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OQUhdG25D-OWloCdab1DTs7t4Uob6-1o. These fall within the GNSO’s existing processes and procedures and track the requirements in the ICANN Bylaws - templates were deemed helpful to ensure all required information as outlined in the Bylaws is provided by those considering submitting motions or initiating other actions.

These actions fall within the remit of the GNSO’s existing processes and procedures, but additional details and steps are deemed to be helpful to ensure preparedness for if/when these action are invoked. As such, the GNSO Council is re-constituting a Drafting Team which is expected to have at least one representative from each GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency to work with GNSO support staff to develop these guidelines /principles for GNSO Council consideration.

The Drafting Team will work with GNSO staff to develop proposed guidance or principles for the GNSO to complete a particular action(s) that fall within the GNSO’s existing processes and procedures, but where additional details and steps are deemed to be helpful, relating to the GNSO’s participation as a Decision Participant in the Empowered Community.
The Drafting Team shall provide to the GNSO Council the proposed guidance and principles, including any recommendations, if applicable, for changes to GNSO Operating Procedures to enable effective GNSO participation as a Decisional Participant, for its consideration. Any such new, or proposed modifications to existing procedures must be approved by the GNSO Council following the applicable process.
