Dear All,
Ahead of the official GNSO Council minutes, the following resolutions were
passed at the Council meeting in Nairobi on Wednesday, 10 March 2010.
1. Motion to Approve Vertical Integration (VI) Charter:
Made by: Stéphane van Gelder
Seconded by: Mary Wong
Whereas, on 28 January 2010, the GNSO Council approved a policy development
process (PDP) on the topic of vertical integration between registries and
registrars;
Whereas, the GNSO Council created a drafting team for the purposes of drafting
a charter to fulfill the requirements of the PDP; and,
Whereas the drafting team completed its work and presented its charter proposal
to the GNSO Council on Friday Feb 26, 2010.
Whereas, the GNSO Council has reviewed the proposed charter to guide the
working group in its PDP activities;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:
Resolved, that the GNSO Council approves the following charter:

Resolved further, that the GNSO Council appoints Stephane van Gelder to be the
GNSO Council Liaison to the Vertical Integration Working group (VI WG).
Resolved further, that the GNSO Council directs that a working group be formed
to perform the work of the VI WG, and that the VI WG shall initiate its
activities within 14 days after the approval of this motion. Until such time as
the WG can select a chair and that chair can be confirmed by the GNSO Council,
the GNSO Council Liaison shall act as interim chair.
Resolved further, that the WG is directed to develop a version of objective 5
and to recommend it to the Council within three weeks for either (a) Council
approval of the WG-recommended Objective 5 or (b)
Council vote on which version of Objective 5 (as reflected in the draft Charter
of March 10, 2010) should apply.
Resolution passed unanimously by voice vote of all Council members present.
Rosemary Sinclair, Adrian Kinderis and Terry Davis absent.
2. Resolution for the extension of the Operating Steering Committee (OSC)-
Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC)
Motion made by: Chuck Gomes
Seconded by: Wolf-Ulrich Knoben
Whereas in October 2008, the GNSO Council established a framework for
implementing the various GNSO Improvements identified and approved by the ICANN
Board of Directors (see - GNSO Council Improvements Implementation Plan)
http://www.icann.org/en/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-implementation-plan-16oct08.pdf;
Whereas that framework included the formation of two Steering Committees - the
Operations Steering Committee and the Policy Process Steering Committee - to
charter and coordinate the efforts of five community work teams designed to
develop specific recommendations to implement specific aspects of the
improvements;
Whereas the Council intended the charters of the committees (and their
attendant work teams) to be temporary and not to extend beyond the 2009 annual
ICANN meeting without specific action by the Council;
Whereas the Council extended the terms of those committees until the Nairobi
ICANN meeting ("the end of ICANN's first general meeting in 2010") to allow the
GNSO community implementation recommendations work to continue (see - 24 sept
motions);
Whereas the Council acknowledges the hard work of those work teams and notes
that those committees and their teams are diligently continuing their work;
RESOLVED, The Council extends the terms of the Operations Steering Committee
and the Policy Process Steering Committee and their respective work teams as
necessary through the end of the 2010 ICANN annual meeting. The Council directs
each work team chair by the end of the Brussels ICANN meeting to identify the
specific targets and benchmarks for completing their work and to be prepared to
conclude their work as soon as possible but not later than the 2010 ICANN
annual meeting. The specific expectations, targets and benchmarks for each team
should be shared with the appropriate Steering Committee Chair and the Council
by 15 April 2010.
Resolution passed unanimously by voice vote of all Council members present.
Rosemary Sinclair, Adrian Kinderis and Terry Davis absent.
3. Board Seat #13 Election Resolution
Made by: Chuck Gomes
Seconded by: Stephane van Gelder
Whereas, the ICANN Bylaws specify that the GNSO has the right to select two
individuals to serve on the ICANN Board, commonly referred to as Board Seats 13
and 14;
Whereas, under the Bylaws, the Contracted Parties House of the GNSO Council
selects the individual to fill Board Seat 13, and the Non-Contracted Parties
House selects the individual to fill Board Seat 14;
Whereas, on 28 January 2010, the GNSO Council approved the process proposed by
the Contracted Party House to select a representative to fill Board Seat 13 for
the 2010 election, and amended its Operating Procedures to include that process
(see - http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-council-28jan10-en.htm);
Whereas the Contracted Parties House of the GNSO Council has utilized that
process to select Bruce Tonkin to serve as the Board member for Seat 13;
RESOLVED, The GNSO Council acknowledges the selection of Bruce Tonkin by the
Contracted Parties House to fill ICANN Board Seat 13 and directs the GNSO
Secretariat to make the necessary notifications to the Board and the community.
Resolution passed unanimously by roll call vote and 3 absentee ballots.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Glen de Saint Géry
