Now that the NPOC has been created and according to the rules of the NCSG, each NCSG member is entitled to belong to three constituencies with the NCSG, I recommend that NCSG members take a look at the new constituency and see whether it is a fit and consider joining our new constituency. Please note, that will all constituencies must adhere to the membership rules of the NCSG, Constituencies can imposes additional requirements - so membership in the NPOC or NCUC is still determined by the charters and membership of those constituencies.</div><div><br></div><div>- NCSG Charter</div><div><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-24jun11-en.htm#1.6">http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-24jun11-en.htm#1.6</a></div><div><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-24jun11-en.htm#1.6.rationale">http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-24jun11-en.htm#1.6.rationale</a></div><div><br></div><div>Charter that was approved by the Board</div><div><a href="http://gnso.icann.org/improvements/proposed-ncsg-charter-05may11-en.pdf">http://gnso.icann.org/improvements/proposed-ncsg-charter-05may11-en.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div>According to our new charter, we now need to approve the new charter.

While the NCSG charter dictates that council seats and the NCSG chair are elected by the NCSG membership at large, a lot of resources within the GNSO, such as Nomcom representation and representation on the various NCSG committees.</div><br><div>- The GNSO notification</div><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium;">Stéphane Van Gelder <<a href="mailto:stephane.vangelder@indom.com">stephane.vangelder@indom.com</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);"><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium;">24 June 2011 13:00:35 GMT+08:00<br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);"><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium;">"<a href="mailto:council@gnso.icann.org">council@gnso.icann.org</a> List" <<a href="mailto:council@gnso.icann.org">council@gnso.icann.org</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);"><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium;"><b>[council] Adoption of GNSO charters and new GNSO constituencies</b><br></span></div><br><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Councillors,<div><br></div><div>Just as an FYI, here is an extract from the transcript of today's Board meeting:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; ">>>PETER DENGATE THRUSH: WE BEGIN WITH A CONSENT AGENDA, AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE NEW TO THIS PROCESS THIS IS A THING BY WHICH A NUMBER OF REPORTS AND THINGS HAVE BEEN WORKED UP THROUGH THE VARIOUS PROCESSES AND COME TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; ">THE BOARD HAS DISCUSSED EACH OF THESE ITEMS PRIOR TO THE MEETING.
