Councilors –

Attached and copied below, please find a proposed amendment to my earlier 
motion referenced above, in accordance with our discussions during last night’s 
working session.

As a seconder, I would ask Rubens Kuhl to confirm whether he takes these 
changes as friendly.
Thank you,
J


1.         MOTION – Acceptance of the Report from the GNSO Bylaws 
Implementation Drafting Team and next steps
(Motion deferred to 7 November 2016 from 13 October 2016)
Made by: James Bladel
Seconded by: Rubens Kuhl

WHEREAS:
1.       On 30 June 2016 the GNSO Council approved the creation of a Drafting 
Team (DT) that was to work with ICANN staff to “fully identify 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.       During the course of the DT’s work, strongly divergent views were 
expressed on the role of the GNSO Council in the Empowered Community, leading 
to the production of a Final Report which included a minority report; and
4.       The DT submitted its Final Report to the GNSO Council on 12 October 
2016 
(https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/bylaws-drafting-team-final-report-12oct16-en.pdf).
 The GNSO Council has reviewed the DT’s report.

RESOLVED:

1.       The GNSO Council accepts the recommendations in the DT’s report as 
submitted.
2.       The GNSO Council directs ICANN Policy Staff to draft proposed language 
for any necessary modifications or additions to the GNSO Operating Procedures 
and, if applicable, those parts of the ICANN Bylaws pertaining to the GNSO. The 
GNSO Council requests that ICANN Legal evaluate whether the proposed 
modifications are consistent with the post-transition Bylaws and report their 
findings to the GNSO Council.
3.       The GNSO Council requests that members of the DT make themselves 
available for consultation by ICANN Policy Staff as needed.
4.       In acknowledgement of the divergent views within the DT, the GNSO 
Council directs ICANN Policy Staff to post the DT Final Report, including the 
minority report, and all proposed modifications or new procedures for public 
comment for no less than 40 days. The GNSO Council expects that any comments 
received will be given meaningful consideration.
5.       As resolved previously, the GNSO Council intends to subject the 
adoption of the proposed modifications to existing procedures and/or ICANN 
Bylaws to a GNSO Supermajority vote.
6.       The GNSO Council thanks the DT for its collaborative effort, 
especially in view the limited time frame available to the DT.
