Hello and thanks to Amr for his question and reminder that the closing date for 
volunteers to send in their names was set to be Friday 22 July. As such, 
Councilors for those Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies that have not yet 
formally submitted names of volunteers are kindly requested to do so at their 
earliest convenience. FYI, as of today (21 July), staff has only received the 
names of five volunteers from the NCSG.

 

Please note also that, in accordance with the resolution that established this 
Drafting Team, volunteers should be those who “can demonstrate reasonable 
knowledge of or experience with the process of revising the ICANN Bylaws or 
GNSO Operating Procedures.” In addition, the resolution provides that “the 
Drafting Team shall reflect the current composition of the GNSO and as such, 
the GNSO Council may review the number of volunteers identified by the GNSO 
Council members.”

 

Thanks and cheers

Mary

Hi,

 

This wasn’t very clear to me, so yes…, it does help greatly.

 

Thanks James.

  Hi Amr-

   

  In fact, yes, I believe we were expecting the vetting of 
criteria/capabilities to be done by the SGs and Cs.  Or, to turn the question 
around, I don’t believe it was anticipated that the Council would question or 
veto the selected member of any SG or C due to concerns.

   

  Hope this helps.

   

  J.

  Hi,

   

  We just ended our monthly call, and I had a question on the AOB agenda item 
number 9.2 concerning “Update on status of progress on the Drafting Team that 
is to identify new and additional rights and responsibilities for the GNSO 
under the revised ICANN Bylaws”:

   

  In the below email, there are some qualifications described for potential 
volunteers to this group. I was wondering who is meant to determine whether 
these qualifications are met in volunteers. Is the GNSO Council meant to do 
this, or are the SGs/Cs supposed to do this prior to submitting names? I didn’t 
think the second scenario was the case, as the application process seems to be 
simply notifying a councillor of the desire to join the group, who would be 
expected, in turn, to communicated this to the GNSO secretariat.

   

  As James mentioned on the call, the deadline for applications to join this 
group is tomorrow.

   

  Thanks.

   

  Amr

    Dear GNSO Councilors,

     

    Please see the following Call for Volunteers.

     

    Kind regards,

    Call for Volunteers: GNSO Drafting Team to Further Develop Recommendations 
to Implement the GNSO’s New Roles and Obligations Under the Revised ICANN Bylaws

     

    In Brief

     

    Per the motion adopted on 30 June 2016, the Generic Names Supporting 
Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers for a Drafting Team to further 
develop recommendations to implement the GNSO’s new roles and obligations under 
the post-transition ICANN Bylaws.

     

    What This Team Will Do

     

    The Drafting Team will work with ICANN staff to fully identify all the new 
or additional rights and responsibilities that the GNSO has under the 
post-transition Bylaws, including but not limited to participation of the GNSO 
within the Empowered Community, and to develop new or modified structures and 
procedures (as necessary) to fully implement these new or additional rights and 
responsibilities.

    The Drafting Team shall provide the GNSO Council with an implementation 
plan, which will have the consensus of the Drafting Team, including any 
recommendations for needed further changes to ICANN Bylaws and/or GNSO 
Operating Procedures to enable effective GNSO participation in ICANN activities 
under the revised ICANN Bylaws, not later than 30 September 2016.

    As part of the process of its consideration of the implementation plan, 
intended to be approved by a GNSO supermajority vote, the Council may further 
request that the Drafting Team work with ICANN staff to develop new, or propose 
modifications to existing, procedures and structures to implement the revised 
Bylaws for the GNSO. Any such new, or proposed modifications to existing 
procedures and structures to implement the revised Bylaws for the GNSO are also 
intended to be approved by a GNSO supermajority vote.

     

    How to Join

    Volunteers for the Drafting Team will be identified by GNSO Council 
members. Volunteers should express interests and can demonstrate reasonable 
knowledge of or experience with the process of revising the ICANN Bylaws or 
GNSO Operating Procedures. The Drafting Team shall reflect the current 
composition of the GNSO and as such, the GNSO Council may review the number of 
volunteers identified by the GNSO Council members. GNSO Councilors are 
requested to identify volunteers by email to gnso-sec@xxxxxxxxx by 22 July 
2016. 

     

    Next steps

     

    As noted above, the GNSO Council directed that this call for volunteers be 
circulated to the GNSO Council and that the volunteers should be identified by 
GNSO Council members. It is anticipated that the Drafting Team will convene 
online for the first time in early August 2016. Following that, regular online 
meetings will be scheduled in accordance with the Drafting Team’s work plan, 
which it is expected to develop as one of its first tasks.

     

    Further information and Preparation

     

    For those interested in volunteering for this effort, you are encouraged to 
review the  table at: 
http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/revised-bylaws-notes-comments-procedures-14jun16-en.pdf.
 

     

    Background

     

    On 27 May 2016 the ICANN Board adopted a set of new ICANN Bylaws, as 
revised on 26 May 2016, that aim to reflect changes needed to implement the 
IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal and such adoption is contingent on the 
proposed transition away of remaining United States Government oversight of 
ICANN.  The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council is aware that 
changes that may need to be made to the GNSO’s current Operating Procedures and 
related mechanisms and to the ICANN Bylaws in order to give effect to new roles 
and obligations of the GNSO under the new Bylaws, such as those in this table 
(http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/revised-bylaws-notes-comments-procedures-14jun16-en.pdf),
 including but not limited to the GNSO’s participation in the Empowered 
Community.  Per the motion adopted on 30 June 2016, the Generic Names 
Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers for a Drafting Team to 
further develop recommendations to implement the GNSO’s new roles and 
obligations under the revised ICANN Bylaws.
