Line 23: − − ==Registrar Constituency Positions== − On April 17, 2008, the Registrar Constituency submitted its positions regarding the '''Board Governance Committee Working Group’s Report for Recommended GNSO Improvements''', which include:<REF>[http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-improvements-report-2008/pdfewzB2s87G8.pdf forum.icann.org]</ref> − − '''Adopting a Working Group Model''' − * Supported the adoption of working group model because it promotes a participation from a broader set of constituencies and transfers the policy making work load of the council to the community. − * Cautioned the possibility of risks wherein the working group maybe “hijacked” by a particular interest group. − * Recommended safeguards to reduce possible risks as well as transparency in handling conflicts of interests and clear guidelines to appeal the decisions of the chairman. − * Expressed its concern over the size of the working group, which might become larger than expected. ICANN should provide enough staff and administrative support and ICANN funding should be limited only to reasonable expenses to efficiently and productively carry out its operations. − '''Revising the Policy Development Project (PDP)'''' − * It supports the revision of the PDP in conjunction with ICANN Policy requirements. − * The Bylaws should be amended to clear out consensus policies, which will be created only based on defined issues related to certain procedures based on ICANN contracts. − * The PDP timeline should be dynamic for the Council to evaluate properly the time needed for every project before scheduling it. − * It also suggested the development of procedural framework to ensure a systematic and predictable process. − '''Restructuring the GNSO Council''' − * It supports the GNSO Council restructuring and revision of the constituency representation and voting rights plans as well as the term limits for councilors and ensuring geographic diversity of the Council members. − * The Constituency agreed that the Council must have the authority to determine if the working group complied with the rules through a large majority. If not solutions should be undertaken. − * Requested further clarification on the relationship between noncommercial registrants’ with [[ALAC]] as well as with the members of the former General Assembly active lists. − '''Enhancing Constituencies and Improving Communication and Coordination with ICANN Structures''' − * It supported frequent communications among GNSO constituents with other Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees.
