RE: [council] Motion To Approve Tool Kit of Services Recommendations for GNSO Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups

[Liz Gasster <liz.gasster@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck and all,

The Board approved GNSO Improvements Report does not require Board approval on 
all GNSO Improvements-related recommendations, only on the restructuring 
activities, the new PDP and the Working Group model. No Board approval is 
required in this case.

Because actual implementation of the toolkit has budgetary implications, the 
implementation steps for staff to take as we see them are to:  1.  Determine 
the cost of the services; 2. Determine what funds might be available; 3. 
Prioritize the list of services; 4. Develop specifications for providing the 
services; and 5. Notify the GNSO organizations of the services and 
specifications.

Thanks, Liz

Wolf,

My understanding is that the Board will need to approve the recommendations for 
implementation. That was the case with regard to the GNSO Restructure 
recommendations.

Rob/Denise - Am I correct on this?

Chuck

Chuck,

I'd like to second this motion but have one question regarding to the 
"resolved": does "sharing the recommendations with the board.." mean that there 
is no further need for board approval? In this case the council might direct 
staff to execute the recommendations.

Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich

Motion To Approve Tool Kit of Services Recommendations for GNSO Constituencies 
and Stakeholder Groups

Motion by: Chuck Gomes
Seconded by:

Whereas the Board Governance Committee Report on GNSO Improvements (BGC Report) 
tasked ICANN staff with developing, within six months, in consultation with the 
GNSO Council, a “tool kit” of basic services that would be made available to 
all constituencies.  (See Report of the Board Governance Committee GNSO Review 
Working Group on GNSO Improvements, 3 February 2008 located at 
http://www.icann.org/en/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-report-03feb08.pdf,
 p. 46.);

Whereas the ICANN Board approved the BGC GNSO Improvement Recommendations on 26 
June 2008 
(http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-26jun08.htm#_Toc76113182);

Whereas in January 2009 the GNSO Council formed the Operations Steering 
Committee (OSC) to develop recommendations to implement operational changes 
contained in the BGC Report;

Whereas the OSC established three Work Teams, including the GNSO Stakeholder 
Group and Constituency Operations Work Team, to take on the work of each of the 
three operational areas addressed in the BGC Report recommendations;

Whereas the GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Operations Work Team 
developed and approved Tool Kit Services Recommendations for GNSO 
Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups on 25 October 2009 and sent them to the 
OSC for review;

Whereas the OSC accepted the Work Team's recommendations;

Whereas on 5 Nov 09 the document was distributed to the Council list and 
Councilors were asked to forward the recommendations to their respective groups 
for review and comment ASAP with the tentative goal of Council action in our 
December meeting;

RESOLVED, the Council accepts the recommendations 
(http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/tool-kit-services-recommendations-for-gnso-05nov09-en.pdf)
 and directs Staff to share the recommendations with the Board and post the 
document on the GNSO web page at http://gnso.icann.org/.
