The Role of Individual Internet Users in the GNSO
Open: 28 Oct 08
Closed: 28 Nov 08
 Explanation: The ICANN Board has asked for additional community input on the 
appropriate role and representation of individual commercial and non-commercial 
Internet users in the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO). Faced with 
a number of different recommendations stemming from various independent reviews 
and GNSO and user-community group efforts, the Board continues to consider this 
issue and believes that comments from the community, especially stakeholders in 
the GNSO, ALAC and At-Large groups, and any relevant applicants for new 
constituencies, would be particularly helpful.

Potential commenters are asked to consider addressing the inclusion of 
registrants and individual users in the GNSO in a manner that compliments the 
ALAC and its supporting structures and ensures that registrants' and individual 
Internet users' gTLD interests are effectively represented within the GNSO. A 
summary document has been prepared by the ICANN Staff to provide background on 
this issue and to outline a number of potential options being considered by the 
Board.

Deadline and How to Submit Comments
