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

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

Thanks Liz.  Is it correct then that once the Council approves it, the
implementation process as you describe may begin?  If so, would it be
better to specically say the Council "approves" the recommendations
instead of "accepts" the recommendations?

        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,

         

        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

        An: council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        Betreff: [council] Motion To Approve Tool Kit of Services
Recommendations for GNSO Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups

        I am making this motion for action in our 17 Dec 09 Council
meeting.

         

        Glen - Please post this per normal practice.  Thanks.

         

        Chuck

         

        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-repor
t-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/ <http://gnso.icann.org/> .
