[council] Re: GNSO reviews and recommended changes - for informal discussion at tonight's dinner
Additional background information, per our discussion:
Board Governance Committee membership: Hagen Hultzsch, Veni Markovski,
Alejandro Pisanty (Chair), Rita Rodin, Vanda Scartezini, and Peter
Dengate Thrush (note that Paul Twomey and Vint Cerf participated in this
morning's meeting)
Bylaws directing independent review:
Article IV, 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. The results of
such reviews shall be posted on the Website for public review and
comment, and shall be considered by the Board no later than the second
scheduled meeting of the Board after such results have been posted for
30 days. The consideration by the Board includes the ability to revise
the structure or operation of the parts of ICANN being reviewed by a
two-thirds vote of all members of the Board.
