GNSO Restructure – Motion re. Individual Users in the GNSO
Whereas:
On 11 December 2008, the ICANN Board approved Resolution
2008-12-11-02 seeking a recommendation on how to incorporate the
legitimate interests of individual Internet users in the GNSO in
constructive yet non-duplicative ways and requesting that the
recommendation should be submitted no later than 24 January 2009 for
consideration by the Board.
In an email message to the GNSO Council list dated 20 January 2009,
the ICANN Vice President, Policy Development clarified that the11
December Resolution is an effort to help the Board identify a
strategic solution that balances ALAC/At-Large and GNSO
opportunities for all user and registrant stakeholders.
The Working Group on GNSO Council Restructuring Report sent to the
ICANN Board of Directors on 25 July 2008 recommended that the Non-
Contracted Party/User House would be open to membership of all
interested parties that use or provide services for the Internet,
with the obvious exclusion of the contracted parties and should
explicitly not be restricted to domain registrants as recommended by
the BGC and that such recommendation was made in response to the
suggestion of the ALAC Liaison to the Council.
The GNSO Council Chair previously contacted the ALAC Chair and the
GNSO ALAC Liaison to discuss this topic.
The potential members of the two GNSO Council Non-Contracted Party
Stakeholder Groups have been tasked with submitting proposed
Stakeholder Group Charters to the ICANN Board prior to the Board
meeting on 6 March 2009.
Resolve:
The Council requests the GNSO Council ALAC Liaison in consultation
with the ALAC Chair to:
Determine whether the ALAC and At-Large community have any concerns
with regard to the recommendation that membership in the Non-
Contracted Party/User House would be open to individual Internet
users in addition to domain name registrants and, if so, to
communicate those concerns to the GNSO Council as soon as practical
Determine whether the ALAC and At-Large community would like the
GNSO to identify some noncommercial user representatives, especially
individual users, who would be willing to work with the ALAC and At-
Large community to develop a recommendation regarding the Board’s
request that could be forwarded to the NCUC for their consideration
in developing a stakeholder group charter and to the Board for
action on GNSO improvement recommendations.
Provide weekly progress reports to the Council list regarding the
above.
The Council directs the Council Chair to:
Apologize to the Board that it failed to meet the Board established
deadline of 24 January
Inform the Board that the GNSO:
Is awaiting information from the ALAC.
Is willing in cooperation with noncommercial users to identify
noncommercial user representatives, especially individual users, who
would be willing to work with the ALAC and At-Large community to
develop a recommendation.
Will promptly consider next steps and respond to the Board as
quickly as possible after requested information is received from the
ALAC as well any recommendation that may be developed by the ALAC
and At-Large community.
