[council] Update on SG/C volunteers for the Drafting Team on new GNSO rights and obligations under the revised ICANN Bylaws

[Mary Wong <mary.wong@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Councilors,

On 30 June, the Council passed a resolution creating a new Drafting Team (DT) 
to work with staff to:
(1) identify the GNSO’s new and additional rights, powers, obligations and 
responsibilities under the revised Bylaws;
(2) develop and deliver a draft Implementation Plan to the Council by 30 
September 2016; and
(3) as necessary, develop new or propose modifications to existing procedures 
and structures to implement the revised Bylaws for the GNSO.

The Council’s resolution further states that volunteers be those who “can 
demonstrate reasonable knowledge of or experience with the process of revising 
the ICANN Bylaws or GNSO Operating Procedures” and that the DT “shall reflect 
the current composition of the GNSO and as such, the GNSO Council may review 
the number of volunteers identified”:

Staff has received the following names from most SG/Cs. We expect to receive 
the name(s) of the BC representative(s) soon, and we understand that the NCSG 
Policy Committee is currently discussing which of their volunteers will 
constitute their final slate.

In view of the Council’s discretion with regard to reviewing the DT’s numbers 
and composition, please feel free to send your comments to this list. We hope 
to begin working with the final slate of DT members shortly.
