Please note that the OSC made one substantive change in the membership section of its Charter to improve internal operational efficiencies by expanding the committee to include the Chairs of the various work teams to be created. In the case of the three initial work teams proposed by the OSC (GNSO Operations Work Team, Constituency/Stakeholder Group Operations Work Team and Communications Work Team) the chairs of the three teams would become members of the OSC. While not consenting to be ongoing chairs, three OSC members have volunteered to serve as interim chairs of the three initial work teams until the work teams select their own chair: * GNSO Operations Work Team - Ken Stubbs (RyC) * Constituency/Stakeholder Group Operations Work Team - Olga Cavalli (NomCom Appointee) * Communications Work Team - Mason Cole (RrC) Chuck ________________________________ From: owner-gnso-osc@icann.org [mailto:owner-gnso-osc@icann.org] On Behalf Of Gomes, Chuck Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 1:18 PM To: Council GNSO Cc: gnso-osc@icann.org Subject: [gnso-osc] Motion to Approve OSC Charter On behalf of the OSC, I am submitting the following motion for approval of the OSC Charter by the Council in its 8 January 2009 meeting.
