Background Material: Final Report of the CSC Charter RT.

According to the ICANN Bylaws, Section 17.3 (c) and the CSC Charter a review of the CSC Charter is required one year after the first meeting of the CSC. In May 2017, a drafting team appointed by the ccNSO and RySG developed a Terms of Reference for the Charter Review, which was subsequently adopted by the ccNSO and RySG in July 2017. The ccNSO and RySG appointed members to form the Charter Review Team from their respective SO and SG to conduct a review of the CSC Charter in accordance with the Terms of Reference. The Charter Review Team conducted a series of consultations with the CSC, the direct customers of the IANA naming function, the independent PTI Directors, and the community at large and published an Initial Report of their findings and an Amended CSC Charter for public comment on 11 April 2018 until 1 June 2018. The public comment period resulted in a number of comments that were considered and addressed by the Charter Review Team in their Final Report and Amended Charter. The ccNSO Council, along with the GNSO Council, is required to ratify any recommended changes to the CSC Charter. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils discussed the Charter Review process, Final Report and amended Charter during their most recent face-to-face meeting in Panama during ICANN62. Decision The ccNSO Council adopts the Final Report of the CSC Charter Review Team, including its recommendations. The ccNSO Council ratifies the changes made to the CSC Charter as a result of the Charter Review Process. The ccNSO Council requests its Chair to inform the GNSO Council  of this decision as soon as is it has become effective in accordance with internal Rules of the ccNSO, and work with the GNSO Council on a way to inform ICANN, PTI and the CSC accordingly on behalf of both the ccNSO and GNSO Councils.
