Whereas, the Board's Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) developed, posted, and discussed with the community revised SG Charter documents;
Whereas, the Staff has made further administrative and substantive edits to conform the documents with the SIC's intention s, to address additional community comments and to resolve various, non-substantive typographical, form and style changes;
It is RESOLVED (2009.30.07.09), the Board approves each of the Charters of the Registries Stakeholder Group, The Registrars Stakeholder Group, The Commercial Stakeholder Group and the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group as revised by the Structural Improvements Committee (copies of which accompany this resolution). The Board also approves additional charter elements to ensure the Bylaws principles of transparency, openness, fairness and representativeness and each Stakeholder Group is further directed to incorporate those additional charter elements into its permanent charter document at its earliest opportunity.
