RE: [council] GNSO Review TOR + Background Information

["Maria Farrell" <maria.farrell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I don't mean to confuse matters or prejudge the development and drafting
work on the terms of reference, but FYI the original source of the text on
the purpose of the review came from the ICANN bylaws:

Section 4. PERIODIC REVIEW OF ICANN STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS

    1. The Board shall cause a periodic review, if feasible no less
frequently than every three years, of the performance and operation of each
Supporting Organization, each Supporting Organization Council, each Advisory
Committee (other than the Governmental Advisory Committee), and the
Nominating Committee by an entity or entities independent of the
organization under review.  The goal of the review, to be undertaken
pursuant to such criteria and standards as the Board shall direct, shall be
to determine (i) whether that organization has a continuing purpose in the
ICANN structure, and (ii) if so, whether any change in structure or
operations is desirable to improve its effectiveness.

All the best, Maria
