>>
>> The second independent review of the GNSO commenced in 2014.  The 
>> Final Report of the independent examiner was published on 15 
>> September 2015 (see 
>> https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gnso-review-final-15sep15-en.pdf) 
>> and contained 36 recommendations in the areas of: participation & 
>> representation, continuous development, transparency and alignment 
>> with ICANN's future.  The GNSO Council adopted the GNSO Review 
>> Recommendations Feasibility and Prioritization analysis 
>> (see:http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/review-feasibility-prioritization-25feb16-en.pdf) 
>> on 14 April 2016 with the modification of Recommendation 21, that the 
>> council recommends staff working with the GNSO to institute methods 
>> of information sharing of highly relevant research related to gTLDs 
>> to help the GNSO community members increase their knowledge base (low 
>> priority).
>>
>> On 25 June, the ICANN Board accepted the Final Report from the 
>> independent examiner, taking into account the GNSO Working Party's 
>> Feasibility and Prioritization Analysis of the GNSO Review 
>> Recommendations, adopted with modifications by the GNSO Council.  The 
>> Board adopted thirty-four (34) recommendations of the Final Report 
>> (i.e. all recommendations excluding recommendations 23 and 32).  
>> Furthermore, the Board requested that the GNSO Council convene a 
>> group that oversees the implementation of Board-accepted recommendations.
>>
>> Per the motion <https://community.icann.org/x/BAObAw>adopted on 21 
>> July 2016, the GNSO Council adopted the Charter
