[council] ICANN Board resolution from meeting of 11 Dec 08

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

The only adopted Board resolution from the Board teleconference relevant
to the GNSO last week was:

From: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-11dec08.htm

Role of Individual Users in GNSO - Briefing and Action 

Approved Resolution 

Whereas, the Board has received varying recommendations on registrant
and user involvement in the GNSO, and the issue of how to incorporate
the legitimate interests of individual Internet users in constructive
yet non-duplicative ways remains an open issue that affects GNSO
restructuring. 

Resolved, (2008-12-11-02) the Board requests that members of the GNSO
community work with members of the ALAC/At-Large community and
representatives of potential new "non-commercial" constituencies to
jointly develop a recommendation for the composition and organizational
structure of a Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group that does not duplicate
the ALAC and its supporting structures, yet ensures that the gTLD
interests of individual Internet users (along with the broader
non-commercial community) are effectively represented within the GNSO.
This recommendation should be submitted no later than 24 January 2009
for consideration by the Board. 

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
