All,

 

As you know, the ICANN Board adopted the amendments to the bylaws under resolution 03.106, as shown in Appendix A to the Board Minutes. For the Preliminary Board Minutes, and resolution, see:

In adopting the amendments to the bylaws, the Board also called for the the formation of the Launching Group. Under Resolution 03.108, the Board "hereby requests the nine ccTLD members of the ccNSO Assistance Group to call for an additional six members to join with the nine ccTLD members of the Assistance Group to form a launching group for the ccNSO ("Launching Group"), the membership of which Launching Group shall be identified in writing to the Secretary within thirty days following the adoption of these resolutions;"

 

The Board further resolved that the Launching Group:

- "shall have authority to solicit additional ccTLD managers to join with the members of such Launching Group to eventually comprise the ccNSO, which shall be deemed constituted once thirty members have joined;" (Resolution 03.109)

- "shall also have the authority to establish a schedule and procedures for the selection of the initial ccNSO Council;" (Resolution 03.110)

- "shall not have the authority (a) to initiate a ccPDP or (b) otherwise engage in development of substantive policies, or (c) select on behalf of the ccNSO any director or observer or other participant in any ICANN body." (Resolution 03.111).

 

This is hereby a call for expressions of interest for the following number of additions from the following regions to the Launching Group:

 

1 from Asia Pacific

1 from Europe

2 from North America

2 from Africa

 

Expressions of interest should be submitted to the Launching Group, at: ccnso-launching-group@xxxxxxxxx, by 18 July 2003.
