In the build-up to launching a Policy Development Process (PDP), the Supporting Organization initiating the process will compose a charter for the working group. The charter defines the scope of the PDP, and typically identifies the legal authority for ICANN to enact policy. It often contains an estimated timeline and defines work tracks for the group to organize around.
Charter Development and Drafting[edit | edit source]
The charter is typically prepared in conjunction with or shortly after the PDP Issue Report, which represents the formal initiation of a PDP.[1][2] Although the Bylaws do not explicitly call out charter development for working groups, the GNSO and ccNSO have both adopted procedures that include the drafting of a charter for each PDP working group.[3][4]
GNSO[edit | edit source]
The GNSO has drafted a template charter document for use by the GNSO or other sponsoring organizations.[5]
ccNSO[edit | edit source]
The ccNSO PDP operates differently, and may as a result include two charters: one for an appointed Task Force, which is an information- and opinion-gathering team intended to frame the opinions and attitudes of stakeholders within each ICANN region; and a second charter for the Working Group itself.[2]
