I think it would be very difficult for a
new Council to start with many new members on a Council teleconference. Ideally
that should occur at a physical meeting to enable those people to actively
engage from the start and Council to maintain momentum.

It would also be nice to have a
clear idea of the new schedule the Board has in mind. When do they now expect
the new council to sit, Korea
or before?
Thanks,

Thanks
for the timely feedback Denise. I note that the Board recognized that
"the restructuring schedule has slipped past Sydney" but it is very important for the GNSO to have a specific
decision regarding the June target date for Council restructuring. Was
any clear decision made in this regard?

Subject: [council] Board
action on GNSO Restructuring
Dear Community Members:
At today's Board meeting, Directors considered the status of Stakeholder
Group (SG) formation and acknowledged that the GNSO community has made an
effort to comply with the Board's timetable for GNSO restructuring (i.e.
seating a new Council in Sydney), that the Board has received proposed SG
charters for review, and that the restructuring schedule has slipped past
Sydney. The Board approved a resolution that: noted that the
proposed SG charters require revisions to ensure equitable participation
and representation by new constituencies; directed the Board's Structural
Improvements Committee (SIC) and ICANN Staff to propose changes to the SG
charters to make them consistent with the Board’s stated
objectives; and directed the SIC to post the revised charters, and an
explanatory memorandum, for GNSO consultation and public comment.
The resolution will be posted by the Board Secretariat shortly at <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/>,
but I wanted to alert you to this development ASAP. Additional
information will be posted/distributed as soon as it's available.
Regards,
Denise
