[council] RE: Motion - To Approve the Report from the GNSO Bylaws Implementation Drafting Team

[Phil Corwin <psc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you remind us what the expected date of delivery is? I would hope we’d have 
at least several days to review and consult with those we represent prior to 
being asked to vote on approving the report’s recommendations. We only get one 
chance to implement the new Bylaws, so we should make sure we’re getting it 
right and not missing anything important.

Thanks and best regards

all the new or additional rights and responsibilities that the GNSO has under 
the revised 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”;
  2.  In creating the DT, the GNSO Council requested that the DT 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”;
  3.  The DT submitted its report to the GNSO Council on [DATE] (also insert

  4.  The GNSO Council has reviewed the DT’s report;

RESOLVED:


  1.  The GNSO Council approves the consensus recommendations in DT’s report as 
submitted.
  2.  The GNSO Council directs ICANN staff to draft proposed language for any 
necessary modifications or additions to the GNSO Operating Procedures and, if

  3.  The GNSO Council directs ICANN staff to post all recommended
