Topic: 32-2015: Proposed ICANN Bylaws Amendments—GNSO Policy & Implementation Recommendations
Originator: ICANN
Summary of request: During its meeting on 24 June 2015, the
GNSO Council unanimously adopted the recommendations of the
GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group (see:
http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/policy-implementation-recommendations-01jun15-en.pdf), which was tasked to address a number of questions as they relate to
GNSO policy and implementation. Among others, these recommendations include three proposed new
GNSO processes, two of which—the
GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) and the
GNSO Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP)—require changes to the
ICANN Bylaws subject to
ICANN Board approval.
