ICANN Board Resolution on Community-Wide Working Group to Review
ICANN's Geographic Regions
http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-07nov08.htm#_Toc87682556
Resolved (2008.11.07.08), the Board authorizes the formation of a
community-wide working group to study and review the issues related to
the definition of the ICANN Geographic Regions, consult with all
stakeholders, and submit proposals for community and Board
consideration relating to the current definition of the ICANN
Geographic Regions. The Board requests that all interested Supporting
Organizations and Advisory Committees nominate two individuals to
serve on the working group, the composition of which the Board would
like to approve at the December Board meeting.
Resolved (2008.11.07.09), the Board requests the working group, as its
first order of business, to draft and seek community input on a
proposed charter, and submit the draft document for community review,
and Board consideration and approval at the March 2009 Board meeting
in Mexico City. In drafting the charter, the working group is directed
to focus, but not limit, its work on the criteria for assigning
countries, dependencies and recognized geopolitical entities to a
Geographic Region, and to take into consideration the relevant ccNSO
Board paper, the recent GNSO comments, and other community advice -
including the GAC's original advice on the topic in 2000 <http://www.icann.org/en/committees/gac/communique-14jul00.htm
>. Further, the Board directs ICANN Staff to support these efforts.
