Explanation: Implementation of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO)
Review/Improvements process requires the amendment of a substantial number of
the ICANN Bylaws to reflect new GNSO structures, processes and mechanisms. In
particular, a specific package of draft Bylaws and additional Staff
recommendations has been developed for Public review and comment so that the
ICANN Board can move forward with Bylaw amendments to seat the new GNSO Council
by the annual ICANN meeting in Seoul, Korea. Approving the Bylaws amendments is
a key step toward seating a newly structured Council consistent with the
recommendations of the ICANN Board.
The draft Bylaw amendments included in the package being posted for public
comment are the work product of a GNSO Council Restructure Drafting Team
(consisting of the entire GNSO Council and additional GNSO community members)
which has been working on a set of Bylaws Amendments for the last several
months. The version developed by the GNSO Drafting Team has not been approved
by the GNSO Council, and is the subject of a pending motion for approval at the
next GNSO Council meeting. The additional draft Staff recommendations included
with the package are designed to address specific areas that are impacted by
community discussions during the ICANN meeting in Sydney, Australia.
The package consists of three documents. The first document is a comparison
document [PDF, 122K] showing the existing Bylaws and comparing them to the
amendments proposed by the GNSO Council deliberations so far. The second
document is a clean version [PDF, 67K] of what the Bylaws would look like if
those amendments were approved. The third document is a Staff list of
additional amendment components [PDF, 17K] that have been necessitated by
community discussion at the ICANN Sydney meeting and suggestions from the
Board's Structural Improvements Committee.
Staff Responsible: Robert Hoggarth
