As recommended by ICANN’s Structural Improvements Committee (SIC), the ICANN Board of Directors resolved to accept the TLG Review Final Report and to establish a Board Technical Relations Working Group (BTRWG) to consider measures to enhance the coordination and cooperation between ICANN and other members of the Internet technical community with the intent of, among other things, dissolving the TLG by the 2011 Annual Meeting. It furthermore requested that:
- the BTRWG engage the ICANN community in a fully consultative process;
- five members of this working group be nominated; and
- the SIC develop a charter for this Working Group based upon the report of the TLG review.
The Board adopted the BTRWG Charter in April 2011.
In August 2011, the BTRWG submitted its Final Report to the Board for consideration which, in turn, recommended that the SIC propose a course of action.
In consideration of the BTRWG final report, the SIC recommended to have the Final Report [PDF, 254 KB] posted for public comments to provide further basis for actions. The Board directed that the BTRWG Final Report be posted for public comment and a summary of contributions received be delivered to the SIC.
In August 2011, the BTRWG submitted its Final Report to the Board for consideration which, in turn, recommended that the SIC propose a course of action.
