Whereas, the Board determined at its May 2009 meeting that the proposed charters for four new GNSO Stakeholder Groups require revisions to ensure equitable participation and representation by new constituencies.
Whereas, the Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) has made revisions to the various charter documents and shared them with proponents of each Stakeholder Group.
Resolved (2009.06.26.11), the Board directs the SIC to continue working with the community and Stakeholder Group proponents to (a) ensure that the proposed Stakeholder Group Charters are appropriately revised to meet the Board's vision for the GNSO improvements and restructuring initiative, and (b) ensure that the Board will have four Stakeholder Group Charters ready for Board action at its July 2009 meeting.
Resolved (2009.06.26.12), that in recognition of the additional time required to engage with the community on new Stakeholder Group Charters, the Board hereby postpones the seating of the new GNSO Council until the ICANN meeting in Seoul, South Korea in October 2009.
Resolved (2009.06.26.13), in order to ensure that this new goal can be achieved, ICANN Staff is directed to post for public comment draft Bylaws amendments regarding restructuring that have been developed by the GNSO community so that the Board can take action on them at its July meeting.
