Hi all,

we participated in the public comment mentioned above and we are currently
at the step to make a decision on how to proceed at council level. one
option mentioned is about consulting the DT team, so I would like to ask
our representatives there to chime in.
since it is planned to be in next Council call agenda, please review the
related material prior to our NCSG call tentatively scheduled for 19th
September.

Thanks,

GNSO Operating Procedures and ICANN Bylaws

Dear All,



As you may recall, the GNSO Council directed 'ICANN Policy Staff to draft
proposed language for any necessary modifications or additions to
the GNSO Operating Procedures and, if applicable, those parts of
the ICANN Bylaws pertaining to the GNSO’ to implement the Bylaws DT
recommendations (https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/bylaws-drafting-team-
final-report-12oct16-en.pdf). In its analysis of the Drafting Team (DT),
staff took a minimalist approach by focusing on the minimum changes needed
to implement the DT recommendations, recognizing that in certain cases
additional work may be desirable to facilitate the GNSO's participation in
the Empowered Community, such as creating templates or fact sheets. These
proposed changes to the GNSO Operating Procedures and ICANN Bylaws were
published for public comment on 19 June and closed on 10 August (see
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-op-procedures-2017-06-19-en
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-op-procedures-2017-06-19-en)>).
The staff report of public comments (see attached) will be published on the
site shortly. Comments were received from all GNSO Stakeholder Groups and
the CSG constituencies.



In its analysis, Staff notes general support for the proposed changes to
the GNSO Operating Procedures and ICANN Bylaws and their consistency with
the intent of the Bylaws DT recommendations. Some specific comments were
identified in relation to the GNSO Operating Procedures to which staff has
either responded or put forward a proposed way for addressing the comment
(see section IV analysis of comments). In addition, the commenters restated
their positions with regards to the role of the GNSO Council along the
lines of the positions recorded in the Bylaws DT Final Report.



It is now up to the GNSO Council to determine what the next steps should
be. These could include, for example, adoption of the revised GNSO
Operating Procedures and ICANN Bylaws with the minor updates as suggested
in the analysis of comments, further consideration of the comments
submitted, and/or consultation with the Bylaws DT. Staff would like to
suggest adding this topic to the agenda for the next Council meeting so
that you have an opportunity to consider these or other options that are
put forward.



Best regards,



Marika
