The ccNSO Guidelines Review Committee (GRC) expanded its mandate to allow the group to review the Operating Standards for specific reviews in addition to reviewing the current guidelines and ascertaining whether they reflect practices and working methods, identifying potential gaps, and proposing to the Council changes. The Strategic Operational Planning Working Group was renamed the Strategic Operational Committee to reflect the continuous nature of the group. The SOPC was mandated to submit a rejection action petition about ICANN and IANA about budgets, operational plans, and ICANN strategic plan to the ccNSO Council in the context of the ccNSO as a Decisional Participant. Membership structure and term limitation were reviewed.
