Also note that the
proposed amendments include 'additional
draft Staff recommendations' beyond the changes proposed by the
'GNSO Council Restructure Drafting
Team': "The package consists of
three documents. The first document is a comparison document [PDF, 122K] showing the existing Bylaws and
comparing them to the amendments proposed by the GNSO Council deliberations so
far. The second document is a clean version [PDF, 67K] of what the Bylaws would look like if
those amendments were approved. The third document is a Staff list of additional amendment
components [PDF, 17K] that have
been necessitated by community discussion at the ICANN Sydney meeting and
suggestions from the Board’s Structural Improvements
Committee."
Regarding the
two open issues in the Bylaw amendments:
- "The appointment of the additional three
seats beyond the three seats currently allocated to the Non-Commercial Users
Constituency are initially to be determined in accordance with the NCSG
charter, which grants the Board the right to appoint individuals representing
additional non-commercial interests."
- For Board seats 13 and 14, the following
was inserted in the proposed amendments: "placeholder regarding manner of selection – TBD by
Board".
