Community Comment Invited on Proposed Bylaw Amendments Related to Restructuring
of the GNSO Council
30 June 2009
Explanation: Implementation of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO)
Review/Improvements process requires the amendment of a substantial number of
the ICANN Bylaws to reflect new GNSO structures, processes and mechanisms. In
particular, a specific package of draft Bylaws and additional Staff
recommendations has been developed for Public review and comment so that the
ICANN Board can move forward with Bylaw amendments to seat the new GNSO Council
by the annual ICANN meeting in Seoul, Korea. Approving the Bylaws amendments is
a key step toward seating a newly structured Council consistent with the
recommendations of the ICANN Board Governance Committee.
The draft Bylaw amendments included in the package being posted for public
comment are the work product of a GNSO Council Restructure Drafting Team
(consisting of the entire GNSO Council and additional GNSO community members)
which has been working on a set of Bylaws Amendments for the last several
months. The additional draft Staff recommendations included with the package
are designed to address specific areas that are impacted by community
discussions during the ICANN meeting in Sydney, Australia.
The package consists of three documents.
The first document is a comparison document [PDF, 122K]
http://www.icann.org/en/general/proposed-gnso-council-bylaws-amendment-redline-30jun09-en.pdf
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]
http://www.icann.org/en/general/proposed-gnso-council-bylaws-amendment-clean-30jun09-en.pdf
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]
http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/draft-staff-recommendations-30jun09-en.pdf
that have been necessitated by community discussion at the ICANN Sydney meeting
and suggestions from the Board's Structural Improvements Committee.
