Rob,

 

Thank-you for updating us on this.  We will look forward to viewing the
updated pages.

 

I think Councillors may find Julie's summary of links below to be helpful
(as sent to the Standing Committee on Improvements)

"Basics" Materials 

 

Dear SCI members,

 

As the need for more information for councilors and community members was a
topic of a comment on the Working Group Guidelines Survey and also has been
mentioned a few times on the SCI list, you may be interested in the update
from Rob Hoggarth below.

 

Also, the question arose yesterday about where one can find the GNSO Council
Operating Procedures.  These may be accessed as follows:

 

1.  From the ICANN main page at: http://www.icann.org/ click on the Groups
tab on the top menu bar

2.  From the Groups page click on the GNSO tab on the menu bar on the
left-hand side of the page

3.  From the GNSO page at: http://gnso.icann.org/en/ click on the Council
Activities tab on the top menu bar and scroll down to click on Procedures

 

On the Procedures page you will find the latest version of the GNSO Council
Operating Procedures and latest links.  For faster access you may wish to
bookmark this page:

Dear Council Members;

 

I previously advised you about staff efforts to develop a set of
introductory material "modules" designed to serve as a standing resource for
councilors and community members on a variety of introductory "basic" GNSO
topics. 

 

I am pleased to report that we have completed the first set of materials and
are readying to post them on the updated "Basics" page of GNSO.icann.org.
Rather than fill your mailbox with all six modules at once, I have posted
them to the GNSO Council Resources wiki page at -
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocounres/General .  The redesigned
GNSO Basics page - http://newgnso.icann.org/en/basics/getting-started -
should be up on the GNSO web site within a few days. We hope it will be a
helpful resource.

 

Please feel free to access the new materials from the wiki attachment links
and offer any comments in the space.  Staff is particularly interested in
hearing about any new/additional topics that you think should get the
"basic" treatment.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob
