I, too, apologize that I missed the meeting - I had forgotten I was
supposed to be on a plane at that time this morning. Like Wendy, I will
catch up with the reports and recordings.

Review Team that the time available for submission of a final report may
not be adequate in order for the Review Team to submit meaningful and
efficacious report. The Review Team suggests that the next meeting of
the GNSO be scheduled near enough the deadline (14th of December 2009)
set by the Board for submission of the GNSO response, in order to
provide the Review Team with adequate time to effectively complete its
review and submit a final report before the date of the next GNSO
meeting to be scheduled before the Board mandated deadline. However, the
STI-RT intends to deliver its report no later than Monday, 7 December."

reviewing this chart. A number of questions were raised, especially
regarding items on the list submitted by a group of law enforcement
representatives, and one of these representatives will be invited to our
next meeting to present the joint law enforcement list and to answer
questions. The date for the next meeting has not been set but is
expected to be in early December.

> Renewed "Re-confirmation" Effoorts for Existing GNSO Constituencies -
The seating of the new GNSI Cpuncil now frees up some ICANN Board
resources to address the "re-confirmation" of the existing GNSO
Constituencies. Back in August of last year, the ICANN Board determined
taht if potential new GNSO Constituencies were going to be subject to a
certification process, then it was appropriate to set up a system by
which existing GNSO Constituencies could be regularly evaluated as well.
The Board adopted a concept of "re-confirming" the charters and
operational mechanisms of each GNSO Constituency every three years (see-
http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/minutes-28aug08.htm)._
> 
> The initial Constituency re-confirmation process was slated for
earlier this year, but the process took a back seat as the Board focused
its efforts on evaluation and approval of the new GNSO Stakeholder Group
structures and approval of the processes and recommended Bylaws changes
necessary for seating the new GNSO Council. Now that the Board has
generally resolved those issues, it has set a deadline of March 2010 for
formal re-submission of any revised re-confirmation proposals by the
existing GNSO Constituencies and has directed the ICANN Staff to assist
constituency leaders in developing those submissions (see - 30 October
2009 Board Meeting Resolutions - Consent Agenda Item
1.3<http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-30oct09-en.htm#1>).
> 
> The GNSO Constituency Operations Work Team is also making progress on
a set of recommendations for review by the Operating Steering Committee.
A document may be completed by the work team next month and that work
product could be combined with the re-confirmation effort.
> 
> The Board is also awaiting charter updates to reflect the new
Stakeholder Group structures from the Commercial and Business Users
Constituency and the Internet Service and Connectivity Providers
Constituency and has instructed Staff to provide assistance in
completing those efforts.
> 
> _Potential New GNSO Constituencies Remain Under Consideration -_ICANN
Board members conducted substantial discussions in Seoul regarding the
proposals for four new GNSO Constituencies but took no formal
action.__All four of the proposed new GNSO Constituency charters
(CyberSafety, Consumers, City TLDs and IDNgTLDs) remain "pending." The
latest public documents regarding the proposals are located here -
http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/newco-process-en.htm. The process
also remains available for other interested parties to develop proposals
for new GNSO Constituencies and to submit them to the Board.
> 
> _Permanent Stakeholder Group Charters -_When the Board approved the
four (4) new GNSO Stakeholder Group structures earlier this year it
acknowledged that the charters for the Commercial Stakeholder Group and
the Non Commercial Stakeholder Group were to be transitional/temporary
and that permanent charters were to be developed over the course of the
coming year. The Board is already examining some options being
considered by the community for what permanent charters might look like.
Based on discussions in Seoul, the Staff will be working to develop
opportunities for dialogue and further community discussion of these
important matters.
