Secretary's Notice | Secretary's Notice of the ICANN Board Action Without a Meeting | 31 March 2019

EFFECTIVE DATE: 31 May 2019

THE ICANN BOARD PASSED THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION EFFECTIVE 31 MAY 2019 BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, WITHOUT A MEETING, PURSUANT TO THE ICANN BYLAWS AT:

Section 7.19. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board or a Committee of the Board may be taken without a meeting if all of the Directors entitled to vote thereat shall individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such written consent shall have the same force and effect as the unanimous vote of such Directors. Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board.

ALL VOTING MEMBERS RESPONDED AND CONSENTED TO THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION BY ELECTRONIC MEANS:

Bylaws Change to IANA Naming Function Review Team Composition

Whereas, Article 18 of the ICANN Bylaws requires ICANN to cause periodic reviews of the performance of the IANA Naming Function.

Whereas, the first IANA Naming Function Review was commenced by the Board in September 2018 and the appointing entities began the work to comprise the IANA Naming Function Review Team (IFR Team).

Whereas, due to changing composition of the ccNSO in the years since the IANA Stewardship Transition, the ccNSO Council is having difficulty locating a non-ccNSO ccTLD representative as required by Section 18.7(b) of the ICANN Bylaws. As a result, a complete IFR Team has not yet been comprised, and this same difficulty is anticipated to arise for future IANA Naming Function Reviews.

Whereas, on 12 April 2019 the ccNSO Council, through its Chair, requested the ICANN Board to initiate an amendment to the ICANN Bylaws to remedy this situation, and proposed language for such amendment.

Whereas, the Board's Organizational Effectiveness Committee, responsible for coordinating the Board's oversight of the IANA Naming Functions Review, recommends that the proposed amendment process be initiated.

Resolved (2019.05.31.01), the ICANN Board directs the President and CEO, or his designee(s), to initiate a Fundamental Bylaws Amendment Process under Section 25.2 of the ICANN Bylaws, through the posting of the proposed amendment to Section 18.7 of the Bylaws for public comment.
