2010-03-12 - Extending Deadline for GNSO Constituencies to Submit Reconfirmation
Board extends the timetable for constituencies' reconfirmation submissions.
- Staff notified GNSO constituencies of extension
- Responsible entity: Policy Staff
- Due date: None
- Completion date: March 2010
- Constituencies to seek Board reconfirmation
- Responsible entity: GNSO Constituencies
- Due date: June 2010
- Completion date: Incomplete
Whereas, the Board has determined that existing GNSO Constituencies should regularly re-confirm their status as organizations operating consistently with the ICANN Bylaws principles of transparency, openness, fairness and representativeness;
Whereas, the Board asked existing GNSO Constituencies to seek Board reconfirmation prior to the Nairobi meeting; and
Whereas, the GNSO Council Work Team developing recommendations for GNSO Constituencies and Stakeholders is still progressing in its work, and completion of those efforts will likely produce final charters that are much more effective in linking GNSO-structure operations to the ICANN Bylaws principles of transparency, fairness, openness and representativeness.
Resolved (2010.03.12.13), the Board extends the timetable for those reconfirmation submissions to the ICANN International meeting in Brussels, Belgium.
- Action on the reconfirmation of existing GNSO Constituencies has not yet been taken. In June 2011, the Board completed action on permanent Stakeholder Group Charters for the Commercial Stakeholder Group (Resolution 2011.06.24.04) and the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (Resolution 2011.06.24.07). See http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-24jun11-en.htm#1.4. At the same time, the Board approved revised objective criteria for the Recognition of New GNSO Constituencies (Resolution 2011.06.24.09). See http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-24jun11-en.htm#1.7. Now armed with this updated guidance, the Board can consider formal objective review criteria that can be used in the review of existing Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups in the GNSO.
