Dear All,

http://gnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-19may11-en.htm

One of the recommendations of the ICANN Board Governance Committee was to 
develop and implement a targeted outreach program to explore the formation of 
new constituency groups.  The Operations Steering Committee developed 
recommendations on a global outreach program and submitted them to the Generic 
Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council.  (See 
http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/global-outreach-recommendations-21jan11-en.pdf.)  
On 24 February 2011 the GNSO Council acknowledged receipt of the 
recommendations by the Operations Steering Committee and directed staff to post 
the document for forty-five (45) days in the ICANN Public Comment Forum.  On 28 
April the GNSO Council directed the Operations Steering Committee to review the 
Summary and Analysis document as well as the comments and make any changes  to 
the proposed recommendations as are deemed appropriate, or to make those 
changes directly as it sees fit.  The Operations Steering Committee determined 
that no changes were !
 necessary.  Thus, on 19 May the GNSO Council directed ICANN staff to begin the 
process of seeking volunteers from the GNSO Council to form a Charter Drafting 
Team for the Outreach Task Force described in the recommendations as follows:

"The GNSO Council should manage the development of the OTF [Outreach Task 
Force] through the creation of a Drafting Team to develop the OTF's [Outreach 
Task Force] Charter. The Charter shall include procedures for member 
recruitment, application, selection, terms and term limits. The Charter should 
also set goals for the completion of the membership selection process, 
establishment of a meeting schedule, and participation guidelines. The Charter 
should establish an initial term for the OTF [Outreach Task Force] of two 
years. After this period a review should be conducted to review the success of 
the OTF's [Outreach Task Force] initiatives and, if deemed successful, the 
OTF's charter could be extended annually."

This invitation is extended to all members of the GNSO Community.  We urge you 
to forward to this to all members of the community who may be interested in 
participating.  

Please contact the GNSO Council Secretariat at gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
by 01 June 2011 if you are interested in joining the Drafting Team.  Please 
contact Julie Hedlund at julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx if you have any questions 
about the Outreach Recommendations.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Glen
