Subject: RE: [gnso-osc] Motion to Approve OSC Charter

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:

Motion to Approve the OSC Charter

 

30 December 2008

 

Whereas:

  • The GNSO Council reviewed and accepted the new GNSO Improvements Implementation Plan [PDF, 96K] developed by the Planning Team at its 16 October meeting.
  • That Plan called for the creation of an Operations Steering Committee (OSC) to oversee efforts to enhance the GNSO’s structure, constituencies, and communications.
  • The OSC was formed and held five teleconference meetings and conducted various online discussions as of 30 December 2008.
  • The OSC reviewed and modified the draft OSC Charter prepared by the GNSO Improvements Planning Team and recommends that the Council approve the revised draft Charter dated 22 Dec 08 and contained at the committee’s wiki site at https://st.icann.org/icann-osc/index.cgi?operations_steering_committee_osc.

 

Resolve:

  • The GNSO Council approves the OSC Charter and directs the OSC to proceed in fulfilling the terms of that Charter.
