Proposed Changes to the ICANN Bylaws Article XI: Advisory Committees Relating

July 2010<strong><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Pursuant to resolution
2010.06.25.04 passed by the ICANN Board at its meeting on 25 June 2010 the
community is invited to provide comments on a proposed Bylaws amendments
addressing the recommendations arising out of the SSAC review Working Group.</span></p>
<p><em><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Background/Explanation:</span></b></em><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As part of its program of
Organizational Reviews, ICANN has undertaken a review of the Security and
Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), whose role is to advise the ICANN
community and Board on matters relating to the security and integrity of the
Internet’s naming and address allocation systems. Organizational Reviews are
part of ICANN’s program of continuous improvement and are intended to ensure an
in-depth examination of the role and operation of key structures of ICANN, with
support from external, independent professional consultants. Oversight of the
Organizational Review processes is exerted by the Structural Improvements
Committee (SIC), which is a standing Committee of the ICANN Board. The SIC is
authorized to set up specific Working Groups for each of the Reviews.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">In 2009, the ICANN Board
appointed an SSAC Review Working Group (WG), which engaged in extensive
consultations with the SSAC community. In its final report published 29 January
2010 <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/ssac/ssac-review-wg-final-report-29jan10-en.pdf">http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/ssac/ssac-review-wg-final-report-29jan10-en.pdf</a>
[PDF, 282 KB], the SSAC Review WG recommended SSAC membership appointments be
for a term of three years renewable by the Board at the recommendation of the
SSAC Chair indefinitely, and that the terms be staggered to allow for the terms
of one-third of the SSAC members to expire at the end of every year. On 12
March 2010, the Board received the SSAC final report and directed the
Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) to identify actions necessary to
address the recommendations within the report, at <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-12mar10-en.htm#1.6">http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-12mar10-en.htm#1.6</a>.
Article XI, Section 2(2)(b) <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XI">http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XI</a>
of the Bylaws states that the SSAC chair and members shall be appointed by the
Board, and does not state any term for such appointments. Staff supporting the
SIC have identified that a Bylaws amendment is required in order to implement
the recommended change to the SSAC membership appointments, and the SIC
recommended that the Board approve that proposed Bylaws amendments to this
effect are posted for public comment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">On 25 June 2010 the Board
approved resolution 2010.06.25.04 directing the ICANN CEO to have staff draft
proposed Bylaws amendments addressing the recommendations arising out of the
SSAC review WG and to post the proposed amendments for public comment for a
period of no less than 30 days.</span></p>
