[council] Future GNSO Activity? Re - .job Reconsideration Request

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI, saw this resolution passed on the reconsideration request for a registry 
service by .jobs.   Although the reconsideration request was denied, there is a 
reference in the BGC recommendation that asks the GNSO to consider a process to 
evaluate amendments that may have the effect of changing, or seeking to change, 
an sTLD Charter or stated purpose of a sponsored, restricted or community-based 
TLD.

The BGC report can be found at:  
http://www.icann.org/en/committees/reconsideration/bgc-recommendation-09dec10-en.pdf.
  The Resolution is below:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1.     Response to Reconsideration Request 10-2

Whereas, the BGC has reviewed and considered Reconsideration Request 10-2 
submitted by the .JOBS Charter Compliance Coalition on 20 August 2010 
(supplemented as posted at 
<http://www.icann.org/en/committees/board-governance/requests-for-reconsideration-en.htm>)
 concerning the Board's 5 August 2010 resolution approving Employ Media's .JOBS 
Phased Allocation Program.

Whereas, the BGC recommended that the Request be denied as unsupported because: 
(i) the Coalition's concerns regarding potential violations of the Charter in 
the implementation of the Phased Allocation Program is not a proper ground for 
reconsidering the Board's 5 August 2010 Action; and (ii) the Board did not fail 
to consider material information available at the time of the Action.

Whereas, the BGC recommended that the Board direct the President and CEO, and 
General Counsel and Secretary, to ensure that ICANN's Contractual Compliance 
Department closely monitor Employ Media's compliance with its Charter.

Whereas, the BGC recommended that the Board direct the CEO to create a briefing 
paper for the GNSO to consider on this matter, and for the GNSO to determine 
whether a policy development process should be commenced.

Whereas, the Reconsideration Request and the BGC's Recommendation has been 
posted on the ICANN website 
<http://www.icann.org/en/committees/board-governance/requests-for-reconsideration-en.htm>.

Resolved (2010.12.10.35), the Board adopts the Recommendation of the BGC on 
Reconsideration Request 10-2.
