Text
The Board discussed the public comments received regarding the proposed Stakeholder Group Charter for the Non Commercial Stakeholder Group and the opposition raised by some of the members of the current Non Commercial Users Constituency, and discussed the need to clearly state that the period of time for which the transitional charter will remain in effect and that, upon reevaluation after the transitional period, the Board will reevaluate in full, including but not limited to the continued need for a constituency-based model. The Board received an update from Staff regarding the necessity for all proposed charters to be approved together to allow for the GNSO to move forward and seat the new council in Seoul.
The Board then took the following action:Board approved charters for the four GNSO Stakeholder Groups and additional charter elements, and directed each Stakeholder Group to incorporate the additional charter elements into its permanent charter document; Board indicated it will re-examine the structures periodically to ensure adherence to principles; Board directed staff to work with Constituency leaders to complete the re-confirmation of their existing charters for Board action in September.
