Whereas the ccNSO Council resolved on 28 May 2005, to initiate a ccNSO Policy Development Process to consider changes to ICANN Bylaws Article IX (Country-Code Names Supporting Organisation), Annex B (ccNSO Policy-Development Process) and Annex C (the scope of the ccNSO) to address the matters outlined in paragraphs A to M of section 3.2 of the Issues Report as published on 7 June 2005.
Whereas the ccNSO has conducted the ccPDP in accordance with Annex B of the ICANN Bylaws.
Whereas the ccNSO Council resolved on 2 December 2005, to approve the Board Report containing 8 ccNSO Recommendations for changes to the ICANN Bylaws and recommends them to the Board to be considered as an improvement and clarification of the ICANN Bylaws on the ccNSO and the ccPDP in the interest of the ccNSO membership, the ccNSO Council and other stakeholders.
Whereas the Issue Manager has submitted the report to the Board for consideration on 2 December 2005.
Resolved (05.__), that the Board acknowledges the work of the ccNSO on developing these recommendations, thanks the ccNSO for the report, and directs staff to post the recommendation for public comment and take any other appropriate action to enable the Board to act on the ccNSO Council's recommendations at the earliest opportunity.
