Summary
Board designated its Board Governance Committee as responsible for handling matters previously handled by its Reconsideration Committee and Conflicts of Interest Committee.
Text
Whereas, on 7 November 2008 the ICANN Board resolved to dissolve the Reconsideration Committee and the Conflicts of Interest Committee, and move the responsibilities of those committees to the Board Governance Committee.
Whereas, the ICANN Bylaws specifically reference that a "Reconsideration Committee" shall handle Reconsideration Requests.
Whereas, the ICANN Bylaws state that a committee is to be designated by the Board to handle matters relating to conflicts of interest, including oversight of a Conflicts of Interest Policy and annual Conflicts of Interest Statements by Board members.
Whereas, ICANN held a 30-day public comment period on the proposed Bylaws revisions.
Resolved (2009-02-03-08) , that the Bylaws be revised to reflect that the Board Governance Committee is the committee that is now responsible for handling matters previously handled by the Reconsideration Committee and the Conflicts of Interest Committee.
