Subject: Outreach document background Dear Stéphane, I hope you are doing well. 
I am contacting you in relation with the Outreach document and other documents 
related. I understand that council didn't approve my motion related with the 
charter on the last call, also there was a request for deferring it during the 
open council meeting in Dakar. In my modest oppinion this is surprising and 
disappointing because this outreach document is part of the GNSO restructuring 
process, that was open to everyone and where all constituencies and stakeholder 
groups participated. For your reference I have included as follows all the 
background information of the OSC CSG working team I chairedfor more than two 
years. Task 2 of this working team was the mandate to develop an outreach 
strategy:  The ICANN Board Governance Committee (BGC) created a working 
group(the BGC WG) to consider the results of the reviews and recommend 
acomprehensive proposal to improve the effectiveness of the GenericNames 
Supporting Organization (GNSO), including its policy activities,structure, 
operations and communications. This BGC WG produced acomprehensive set of 
recommendations: the “Report of the BoardGovernance Committee GNSO Review 
Working Group on GNSO Improvements”(hereinafter the BGC Report) that were 
approved by the full Board inJuly 2008.1 As a follow up to Board approval of 
many BGC Report recommendations,the GNSO Council formed two steering 
committees, the OperationsSteering Committee (OSC) and the Policy Process 
Steering Committee(PPSC). The OSC formed three work teams, one of which is the 
OSC ConstituencyOperations Work Team, subsequently called the OSC Constituency 
andStakeholder Group Operations Work Team (OSC CSG Work Team). The OSC CSG Work 
Team, chaired by Olga Cavalli with activeparticipation from all constituencies 
and stakeholder groups, createda Work Plan and broke it down into specific 
tasks. Task 2 directed the work team to develop recommendations for a 
globaloutreach program to broaden participation in GNSO constituencies. Thisis 
where the Outreach document came from, as a mandate for the workingteam. See 
the produced report 
here:http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/global-outreach-recommendations-21jan11-en.pdf
 Draft versions of this document went for public comments and also 
forconsideration of the constituencies and stakeholder groups indifferent 
stages of the process. Other references: BGC Report :

in the members and conformation of the working group, constituencies and 
stakeholder groups were part of the team. And after all we went through these 
procedural steps during two years of work, which had the support and 
participation of all SGs, now some stakeholder groups want to change the 
motion. This undermines the value of the work that during two years the OSC CSG 
working team did and also undermines the value and purpose of all the GNSO 
restructuring process. In my modest oppinion GNSO as council should respect the 
work done under the GNSO restructuring process, specially considering that all 
steps were supervised by the OSC, in the case of our CSG working team, and by 
the council as a whole. Please if you need any other clarification on this 
regard feel free to let me know. Many thanks and best regards. Olga
