origins in a <a href="http://www.icann.org/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-report-03feb08.pdf">February 2008 Board Governance Committee (BGC) Report on GNSO Improvements</a> [PDF, 193 KB], which outlined five target areas as shown in the <a href="/en/improvements/gnso-improvements-430x336-11jul12-en.png">graphic</a> [PNG, 45 KB]. Community preparation and planning activities began in May 2008 and the program moved substantially forward at the Mexico City ICANN meeting (March 2009) at which time five Work Teams under the auspices of two Steering Committees were officially inaugurated. More than 100 community volunteers and Staff members were actively involved in pursuit of the program's goals since its inception.</em></p><p><em>After completing its fourth year of implementation, the program substantially developed the structures, policies, procedures, and disciplines designed to achieve long-term improvement in all five target areas. The ICANN Board formally acknowledged the accomplishments of the Program and thanked the community for its work efforts in its <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/prelim-report-23jun12-en.htm">23 June 2012 resolution</a>.</em></p><p><em>All relevant material pertaining to the GNSO Improvements effort has been retained for historical and research purposes.
