<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">At ICANN57 in Hyderabad in November 2016, the GNSO Council approved a motion conditioning the future participation of the GNSO as a Chartering Organization of the CCWG on Internet
Governance (CCWG-IG) upon a comprehensive review of the group’s Charter by the CCWG-IG, in accordance with the Framework of Uniform Principles for CCWGs that had been adopted recently by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils (<u><a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/uniform-framework-principles-recommendations-16sep16-en.pdf" target="_blank">http://gnso.icann.org/en/draf<wbr>ts/uniform-framework-principle<wbr>s-recommendations-16sep16-en.<wbr>pdf</a></u>).
In its resolution, the GNSO Council had noted that the CCWG-IG’s future work is expected to be subject to a clear work plan, with regular updates and clear deliverables, and had requested that, by ICANN58, the CCWG-IG was to report on its findings, which report
may include a revised charter, and the CCWG-IG was to also consider whether it will be preferable to reconstitute the group under a new structure (<u><a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20161107-3" target="_blank">https://gnso.icann.org/en/cou<wbr>ncil/resolutions
- 20161107-3</a></u>). The CCWG-IG provided a written report on its 2016 activity and a draft revised Charter for the GNSO Council’s consideration on 10th March 2017 (<u><a href="http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/019816.html" target="_blank">http://mm.icann.org/pipermail<wbr>/council/2017-March/019816.<wbr>html</a></u>)<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">At its Public Meeting at ICANN58 in Copenhagen on 15 March 2017 and its joint meeting with the ccNSO Council on 13 March 2017, the Council engaged in a discussion with the
CCWG-IG co-chairs regarding the group’s reports. At the GNSO Council’s call on 18 May 2017, the Council continued its discussion of the topic as well as during ICANN59 during which it became clear that although there is strong support to continue the GNSO’s
involvement in Internet Governance, a CCWG is not considered the appropriate vehicle for such involvement.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The Council discussed this motion on its 13 July 2017 call, where the vote was deferred. Here the Council will consider the motion that has been submitted in relation to this

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">To consider this change, some on the GNSO Council have suggested that a narrowly scoped Drafting Team should be formed to determine whether a change of this nature is recommended
