Many thanks Glen .. And here is the relevant part of the GAC Communique ..

"2. Meeting with the Generic Names Supporting Organisation (GNSO)

The GAC met with the GNSO and noted the application of the new "quick look" 
mechanism related to the development of an issues paper on future directory 
services; and the value of more regular inter-sessional conference calls 
between the GAC and GNSO leadership groups. The GAC supported an extension of 
the pilot scheme of a GNSO Council Liaison to the GAC.

GAC welcomed the development by GNSO of a mechanism for responding to GAC 
advice so that the Board receives a clear indication of GNSO policy that is 
relevant to such advice.

There was an exchange of views on the respective GAC and GNSO approaches to the 
work of the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship 
Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship) and the Cross 
Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability 
(CCWG-Accountability)."

Kind Regards

Subject: [Gac-gnso-cg] FW: GNSO Council Resolutions 24 June 2015

FYI
Please find the resolution passed at the GNSO Council meeting today, Wednesday 
24 June 2015.


  1.  Extension of the term of GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory 
Committee

 Whereas:

  1.  As part of the discussions within ICANN between the GNSO and GAC, on how 
to facilitate early engagement of the GAC in GNSO policy development 
activities, the option of appointing a GNSO liaison to the GAC was proposed as 
one of the mechanisms to explore and implemented as a one-year pilot program in 
FY15 on the recommendation of the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group.
  2.  The GAC and GNSO Council agreed that additional time was needed to fully 
evaluate this pilot program and as such requested, and received, support for 
continuing the pilot program in FY16.
  3.  Mason Cole has been fulfilling the role of GNSO Liaison to the GAC and 
has indicated that he is willing to continue in this role for FY16.
  4.  This mechanism will be evaluated at the end of FY16, by both the GNSO 
Council and the GAC, to determine whether or not to continue in either in the 
same form or with possible adjustments based on the feedback received.

Resolved:

  1.  The GNSO Council hereby extends the term of Mason Cole to the role of 
GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee until 30 June 2016.
  2.  The GNSO Council Leadership Team will co-ordinate with Mason Cole as well 
as the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group on the continued implementation of this role.

  1.  should any questions or issues arise before that time.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Kind regards,
Glen
