[council] RE: [gnso-osc] Motion to Approve OSC Charter

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please note that the OSC made one substantive change in the membership
section of its Charter to improve internal operational efficiencies by
expanding the committee to include the Chairs of the various work teams
to be created.  In the case of the three initial work teams proposed by
the OSC (GNSO Operations Work Team, Constituency/Stakeholder Group
Operations Work Team and Communications Work Team) the chairs of the
three teams would become members of the OSC. 
 
While not consenting to be ongoing chairs, three OSC members have
volunteered to serve as interim chairs of the three initial work teams
until the work teams select their own chair:

*       
        GNSO Operations Work Team - Ken Stubbs (RyC)
*       
        Constituency/Stakeholder Group Operations Work Team - Olga
Cavalli (NomCom Appointee)
*       
        Communications Work Team - Mason Cole (RrC)

and conducted various online discussions as of 30 December 2008.
