Hi Phil-

 

This came up a few months ago, and oddly enough that's how it is referenced
in the bylaws:  GNSO Chair and GNSO Vice Chairs.

Phil, according to the Bylaws and the GNSO Operating Procedures it is the
GNSO Chair, not the GNSO Council Chair.

Shouldn't the reference in Resolved clauses 1 and 4 be to the GNSO Council
Chair? I'm not aware of the GNSO having a Chair, just its Council.

Thanks, Wolf-Ulrich. I agree that the motion would benefit from a discrete
timeframe, and accept your language as a friendly amendment. 

 

Marika/Mary-can you reflect this change in the doc for our call?

 

Thank you-

 

J.

Thanks James for the draft which content I support.

 

However, I wonder whether under Res. 3 of the draft motion the term "...the
GNSO is expected to finalize its decision on the appointment ..." may be too
weak with respect to a potential extension of the interim status. A more
concrete time (e.g.like "Within three months after the completion of the
work of the GNSO Rights & Obligations under Revised ICANN Bylaws Drafting
Team and adoption of its recommendations by the GNSO Council, the GNSO is
expected to finalize its decision on the appointment...") could prohibit
misunderstandings.

I'd appreciate you accepting it (or a similar deadline) as a friendly
amendment.


Best regards

Subject: [council] Draft Motion - GNSO Representative on the Empowered
Community

 

Council Colleagues -

 

Below and attached, please find a draft motion for appointing a GNSO
Representative to the Empowered Community.

 

As you are no doubt aware, the current Bylaws Drafting Team (led by Steve
DelBianco) is examining the nature of the GNSO's participation in the new
Empowered Community, and we anticipate their recommendations very soon.
However, as a "Decisional Participant," the GNSO must identify its
representative and communicate this to ICANN's Secretary before the
transition (30 SEP 2016).  So we are up against a very tight deadline.

 

As currently written, the bylaws call for the Chair of each decisional
SO/AC, or another designee, to serve in this role.  The text of this motion
acknowledges this, but notes that this would be an "interim" appointment,
pending any changes resulting from the work of the Bylaws Drafting Team.

 

I hope that all  made sense, and look forward to discussing during our next
call (29 SEP).

 

Thanks-

 

J.

 

 

 

Motion on the interim appointment of the GNSO Representative on the
Empowered Community Administration

 

WHEREAS

 

As stated in Section 1.1(a) of Article 6 of the new ICANN Bylaws, concerning
the composition and organization of the Empowered Community (EC), "The
Empowered Community ("EC") shall be a nonprofit association formed under the
laws of the State of California consisting of the ASO, the ccNSO, the GNSO,
the ALAC and the GAC (each a "Decisional Participant" or "associate," and
collectively, the "Decisional Participants")."  

 

The sole purpose of the EC is to exercise its rights and perform its
obligations under ICANN's Articles of Incorporation and the ICANN Bylaws,
and the EC shall have no other powers or rights except as expressly provided
in the ICANN Bylaws. The EC may only act as provided in these Bylaws. Any
act of the EC that is not in accordance with these Bylaws shall not be
effective.

 

As outlined in section 6.3 of the new ICANN Bylaws, the GNSO, as a
Decisional Participant, shall act through its respective chair or such other
person as may be designated by the GNSO (collectively, such persons from all
communities are the "EC Administration"). Each Decisional Participant shall
deliver annually a written certification from its chair or co-chairs to the
ICANN Secretary designating the individual who shall represent the
Decisional Participant on the EC Administration. 

 

The GNSO created a Drafting Team (DT) on 30 June 2016 to identify the GNSO's
new rights and obligations, and work with ICANN staff to prepare an
implementation plan to address any needed changes by 30 September (see
http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions - 201606)[gnso.icann.org]

RESOLVED

 

1. The GNSO Council hereby confirms that the GNSO Chair (currently James
Bladel) will represent the GNSO as the Decisional Participant on the
Empowered Community Administration on an interim basis. 

 

2.  The GNSO representative shall act solely as directed by the GNSO Council
in accordance with the ICANN Bylaws and other related GNSO Operating
Procedures. 

 

3. Following the completion of the work of the GNSO Rights & Obligations
under Revised ICANN Bylaws Drafting Team and adoption of its recommendations
by the GNSO Council, the GNSO is expected to finalize its decision on the
appointment of the person designated to represent the GNSO as the Decisional
Participant on the Empowered Community Administration and will communicate
this accordingly to the ICANN Secretary.

 

4. The GNSO Council requests the GNSO Secretariat to communicate this
decision to the ICANN Secretary which will serve as the required written
certification from the GNSO Chair designating the individual who shall
represent the Decisional Participant on the EC Administration.
