1.2 Extension of Time for GNSO Constituencies to Review Charters

Whereas, the Board has determined that existing GNSO Constituencies should regularly re-confirm their status as organizations operating consistent with the ICANN Bylaws principles of transparency, openness, fairness and representativeness.

Whereas, the Board most recently asked existing GNSO Constituencies to seek Board reconfirmation of their charters prior to the Brussels meeting.

Whereas, the GNSO Council Work Team developing recommendations for GNSO Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups has now made its recommendations, but additional time will be necessary for GNSO Council and community evaluation of the recommendations.

Whereas, those evaluation efforts are likely to produce final charters that will be more effective in linking GNSO-structure operations to the ICANN Bylaws principles of transparency, fairness, openness and representativeness.

Resolved (2010.06.25.03), the Board further extends the timetable for GNSO Constituency reconfirmation submissions to be provided in sufficient time for consideration at the ICANN International meeting in Cartagena, Columbia.

  • 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.&nbsp|http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-24jun11-en.htm#1.4.&nbsp]; 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.&nbsp|http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-24jun11-en.htm#1.7.&nbsp]; 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.
