FYI -- Clark will be drafting a Registrar Constituency position
statement for our review, but some registrars may want to weigh in
individually as well. Thanks. Jon

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."
