LOS ANGELES - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Process for Amending Stakeholder Group and Constituency Charters has been posted for Public Comment, according to the official website of ICANN. 

Stakeholder group and constituency charters must be recognized by the ICANN Board, which considers and approves any charter amendments for the bodies. As a best practice, each GNSO stakeholder group and constituency reviews its charter regularly. This document is an update to the Process for Amending GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Charters published in 2013.

Recognizing the continuous evolution of the ICANN community and the review roles of the ICANN Board and ICANN organization, the ICANN organization proposed updating the process. The proposed updates to the process would streamline the governance work of GNSO stakeholder groups and constituencies, ensuring their continued focus on policy development.
