'''Stakeholders Groups''' (SG) are the bodies that comprise the [[GNSO|Generic names Supporting Organization]], with each SG representing a different set of interests in the policy making process.
The [[BGC WG|Board Governance Committee Working Group]] recommended the creation of SGs in its [[GNSO]] Improvements Report. The Board Governance Committee ([[BGC]]) created the Stakeholder Groups in order to enhance the creation of new constituencies as well as to add fillip to the growth of the GNSO participants.

The Board approved the following four SGs:<ref>[http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/stakeholder-process-en.htm GNSO Stakeholder Process]</ref>
The Board Governance Committee (BGC) initially did not specify the structure or the hierarchy for the SGs. However, in the Charter, the SG Constituency Members should be recognized as well as approved by the ICANN Board. The internal Constituency structure as well as the leadership positions and the working of every Constituency was left to the membership and the charter which the SG creates.<ref name="link1">[http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/stakeholder-process-en.htm GNSO Stakeholder Process]</ref><ref>[http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/sg-petition-and-charter-template-draft2.doc SG Petition and Charter Template]</ref>
