GNSO Improvements Report 2008

Explanation: On February 15, 2008, ICANN's Board acknowledged receipt of 
the "GNSO Improvements Report" and indicated that it would like to 
receive final public comments on the Report to enable it to consider and 
implement the Report's recommendations as soon as possible. The Board 
has directed ICANN staff to open a public comment forum on the Report 
for 30 days, draft a detailed implementation plan in consultation with 
the GNSO, begin implementation of the non-contentious recommendations, 
and return to the Board and community for further consideration of the 
implementation plan. A copy of the Board's resolution regarding this 
matter can be found here.

The ICANN Board Governance Committee's "GNSO Review Working Group"
http://www.icann.org/topics/gnso-improvements/
developed the Report's
http://www.icann.org/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-report-03feb08.pdf
set of recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the GNSO, 
including its policy activities, structure, operations and 
communications. The Report reflects the Working Group's examination of 
many aspects of the GNSO's functioning, including the use of working 
groups and the overall policy development process (PDP), and the 
structure of the GNSO Council and its constituencies. The Board 
Governance Committee determined that the GNSO Improvements working group 
had fulfilled its charter and forwarded the report to the Board for 
consideration."
