Whereas, the Board established a four-phase timetable intended to seat the newly structured GNSO Council by the ICANN meeting in Sydney, Australia;

Resolved (2009-05-21-13), the Board directs the Structural Improvements Committee and ICANN Staff to make the necessary changes to the Stakeholder Group charters to make them consistent with the Board's GNSO Improvements Report and related Resolutions, and to post the revised charters, and an explanatory memorandum, for GNSO consultation and public comment later this month;
