Re: AW: [council] Motion To Approve Tool Kit of Services Recommendations for GNSO Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups
Wolf, My understanding is that the Board will need to approve the recommendations for implementation. That was the case with regard to the GNSO Restructure recommendations.

Glen - Please post this per normal practice. Thanks. Chuck Motion To Approve Tool Kit of Services Recommendations for GNSO Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups Motion by: Chuck Gomes Seconded by: Whereas the Board Governance Committee Report on GNSO Improvements (BGC Report) tasked ICANN staff with developing, within six months, in consultation with the GNSO Council, a “tool kit” of basic services that would be made available to all constituencies. (See Report of the Board Governance Committee GNSO Review Working Group on GNSO Improvements, 3 February 2008 located at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-report-03..., p. 46.); Whereas the ICANN Board approved the BGC GNSO Improvement Recommendations on 26 June 2008 (http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-26jun08.htm#_Toc76113182 <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-26jun08.htm#_Toc76113182> ); Whereas in January 2009 the GNSO Council formed the Operations Steering Committee (OSC) to develop recommendations to implement operational changes contained in the BGC Report; Whereas the OSC established three Work Teams, including the GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Operations Work Team, to take on the work of each of the three operational areas addressed in the BGC Report recommendations; Whereas the GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Operations Work Team developed and approved Tool Kit Services Recommendations for GNSO Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups on 25 October 2009 and sent them to the OSC for review; Whereas the OSC accepted the Work Team's recommendations; Whereas on 5 Nov 09 the document was distributed to the Council list and Councilors were asked to forward the recommendations to their respective groups for review and comment ASAP with the tentative goal of Council action in our December meeting; RESOLVED, the Council accepts the recommendations (http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/tool-kit-services-recommendations-for-gnso-05no... <http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/tool-kit-services-recommendations-for-gnso-05no...> ) and directs Staff to share the recommendations with the Board and post the document on the GNSO web page at http://gnso.icann.org/ <http://gnso.icann.org/> .
Chuck and all, The Board approved GNSO Improvements Report does not require Board approval on all GNSO Improvements-related recommendations, only on the restructuring activities, the new PDP and the Working Group model. No Board approval is required in this case. Because actual implementation of the toolkit has budgetary implications, the implementation steps for staff to take as we see them are to: 1. Determine the cost of the services; 2. Determine what funds might be available; 3. Prioritize the list of services; 4. Develop specifications for providing the services; and 5. Notify the GNSO organizations of the services and specifications.

Thanks Liz. Is it correct then that once the Council approves it, the implementation process as you describe may begin? If so, would it be better to specically say the Council "approves" the recommendations instead of "accepts" the recommendations?

Hello All,
Because actual implementation of the toolkit has budgetary implications, the implementation steps for staff to take as we see them are to: 1. Determine the cost of the services; 2. Determine what funds might be available; 3. Prioritize the list of services; 4. Develop specifications for providing the services; and 5. Notify the GNSO organizations of the services and specifications.
Just a comment on the budget cycle. ICANN approves an annual budget on a 1 July to 30 June basis. So it would be useful for the GNSO Council to coordinate with staff on the budget implications for the 2010/2011 year starting on 1 July 2010 with respect to the cost of services for GNSO Constituencies and Stakeholder groups. Once the budget is set - I agree with others that there would be dialogue between staff and the GNSO Council with respect to prioritising the available resources (including staff labour and any travel funds) for the GNSO in any given year. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
Agree Bruce. It should also be noted that funds were included in the FY 2009-2010 budget for GNSO improvements. I suspect that they may not be sufficient for all recommended improvements and I questioned that in the budget development process earlier this year, but there were funds included. That in no way counters anything that Bruce suggests. We will still need to work together regarding the available funds and how to use them.
