As noted in the attached charter, these are the recommendations for implementation: Recommendation 6: That the GNSO record and regularly publish statistics on Working Group participation (including diversity statistics). Recommendation 33: That Stakeholder Groups, Constituencies, and the Nominating Committee, in selecting their candidates for appointment to the GNSO Council, should aim to increase the geographic, gender and cultural diversity of its participants, as defined in ICANN Core Value 4 [now Core Value 2]. Recommendation 35: That the GNSO Council establish a Working Group, whose membership specifically reflects the demographic, cultural, gender and age diversity of the Internet as a whole, to recommend to Council ways to reduce barriers to participation in the GNSO by non- English speakers and those with limited command of English. Recommendation 36: That, when approving the formation of a PDP Working Group, the GNSO Council requires that its membership represent as far as reasonably practicable the geographic, cultural and gender diversity of the Internet as a whole.

by Julie Hedlund May 24, 2018

May 24, 2018

Dear GNSO Review Working Group members, This is a Consensus Call for the GNSO Review Implementation Charter for Recommendations 26, 27, 28, & 29, per the action items below from the meeting on 24 May. It was noted during the meeting that the only changes were to reflect the actions taken by ICANN relating to GDPR compliance. The text of the charter including the Working Group Determination section with implementation guidance remains unchanged from the text agreed to by the Working Group last November 2017. As noted in the attached charter, these are the recommendations for implementation: Recommendation 26: That GNSO Council members, Executive Committee members of Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies and members of Working Groups complete and maintain a current, comprehensive Statement of Interest on the GNSO website. Where individuals represent bodies or clients, this information is to be posted. If not posted because of client confidentiality, the participant’s interest or position must be disclosed. Failing either of these, the individual not be permitted to participate. Recommendation 27: That the GNSO establish and maintain a centralized publicly available list of members and individual participants of every Constituency and Stakeholder Group (with a link to the individual’s Statement of Interest where one is required and posted). Recommendation 28: That section 6.1.2 Membership of Chapter 6.0 Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies: Operating Principles and Participation Guidelines of the GNSO Operating Procedures be revised to clarify that key clauses are mandatory rather than advisory, and to institute meaningful sanctions for non-compliance where appropriate. Recommendation 29: That Statements of Interest of GNSO Council Members and Executive Committee members of all Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies include the total number of years that person has held leadership positions in ICANN. Staff is circulating the final version of the charter for a two-week Consensus Call to end on Thursday, 07 June 2018. If there are no objections the recommendations will be deemed to have been implemented by Full Consensus. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
