Subject: [council] ICANN Board resolution from meeting of 11 Dec 08

Hello All,

The only adopted Board resolution from the Board teleconference relevant

to the GNSO last week was:

From: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-11dec08.htm

Role of Individual Users in GNSO - Briefing and Action 

Approved Resolution 

Whereas, the Board has received varying recommendations on registrant

and user involvement in the GNSO, and the issue of how to incorporate

the legitimate interests of individual Internet users in constructive

yet non-duplicative ways remains an open issue that affects GNSO

restructuring. 

Resolved, (2008-12-11-02) the Board requests that members of the GNSO

community work with members of the ALAC/At-Large community and

representatives of potential new "non-commercial" constituencies to

jointly develop a recommendation for the composition and organizational

structure of a Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group that does not duplicate

the ALAC and its supporting structures, yet ensures that the gTLD

interests of individual Internet users (along with the broader

non-commercial community) are effectively represented within the GNSO.

This recommendation should be submitted no later than 24 January 2009

for consideration by the Board. 

Regards,

Bruce Tonkin
