Section II: Background


In January 2010 the Board approved the RSSAC review final report implementation 
steps and instructed the Structural Improvements Committee (SIC), in 
coordination with staff, to provide a final implementation plan to address the 
RSSAC review final recommendations and conclusions. A joint RSSAC-SIC Working 
Group formed to conclude the implementation of the recommendations arising out 
of the organizational review of the RSSAC has recommended modifications to the 
Bylaws addressing the RSSAC. On 20 December 2012, the Board directed the ICANN 
President and CEO to post for public comment the proposed changes to Article 
XI, Section 2.3 of the ICANN Bylaws that are necessary to modify the charter 
for the RSSAC in line with the recommendations arising out of the 
organizational review of the RSSAC.
