GNSO Stakeholder Group Charters </span></strong></a><br>
As part of the comprehensive GNSO Improvements effort, last year the ICANN
Board approved the formation of four new GNSO Stakeholder Groups (SGs). After
considering proposed SG Charters that were submitted by the community and
posted for public comment, the ICANN Board passed a Resolution in May directing
its Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) and ICANN Staff to revise the SG
Charters to make them consistent with the Board’s GNSO Improvements Report (and
related Resolutions). <br>
