[NCUC-DISCUSS] [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Final GNSO Review WG Charter

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi Renata and all,

Thanks for flagging this, and thank you so much for your service on the SCI. We had a great team of non-commercial representatives on the SCI these past few months from the NCSG, NCUC and NPOC (the NPOC representative, Rudi Vansnick is currently also chairing the SCI), and we have been working through some very important projects in this time. I will note that the SCI will not be disbanded until after the current public comment period on its latest work is complete (https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-op-procedures-2016-07-05-en), but will not be taking on any new projects.

Also, if folks would like a little more on the NCSG’s discussion of this topic, please check the recording/transcripts from the last NCSG monthly policy call (https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/NCSG+Monthly+Policy+Meetings), where we discussed the Council motion that brought this change about. If there are any questions, I’d be happy to answer them.

I hope to see many NCSG members on the GNSO Review WG. Renata has shared the announcement in a separate email, and Maryam has also shared it when the announcement was made on July 27th.

Thanks again.

Amr

The motion notes that upon completion of these tasks, any new requests will revert to the GNSO Review Working Group for consideration. In addition, per the motion, following the completion of these two tasks the SCI will be disbanded as its work will have been superseded by the GNSO Review Working Group.

It will close on 14 August, following which staff will produce a report on comments received, if any. The SCI then will finalize the proposed revisions and submit them for approval by the GNSO Council along with a motion on 22 August for Council consideration at its meeting on 01 September. Upon Council approval the revised GNSO Operating Procedures will be published and the SCI’s work will be completed.

SCI members are encouraged to consider volunteering to participate in this Working Group. Per the Charter, the GNSO Working Group is responsible for developing an implementation plan for submission to the Board by end-December 2016, containing a realistic timeline for the implementation, definition of desired outcomes and a way to measure current state as well as progress toward the desired outcome for the GNSO Review recommendations adopted by the ICANN Board. The Charter also notes that the GNSO Review Working Group will be responsible for considering any new requests by the GNSO Council concerning issues related to the GNSO Council processes and procedures and to Working Group guidelines.
