All, for our discussion on the RDS Review Team scope, here's the relevant 
Bylaws language.  Best, Keith



(e) Registration Directory Service Review

(i) Subject to applicable laws, ICANN shall use commercially reasonable efforts 
to enforce its policies relating to registration directory services and shall 
work with Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees to explore 
structural changes to improve accuracy and access to generic top-level domain 
registration data, as well as consider safeguards for protecting such data.

(ii) The Board shall cause a periodic review to assess the effectiveness of the 
then current gTLD registry directory service and whether its implementation 
meets the legitimate needs of law enforcement, promoting consumer trust and 
safeguarding registrant data ("Directory Service Review").

(iii)  The review team for the Directory Service Review ("Directory Service 
Review Team") will consider the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and 
Development ("OECD") Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder 
Flows of Personal Data as defined by the OECD in 1980 and amended in 2013 and 
as may be amended from time to time.

(iv) The Directory Service Review Team shall assess the extent to which prior 
Directory Service Review recommendations have been implemented and the extent 
to which implementation of such recommendations has resulted in the intended 
effect.

(v) The Directory Service Review shall be conducted no less frequently than 
every five years, measured from the date the previous Directory Service Review 
Team was convened, except that the first Directory Service Review to be 
conducted after 1 October 2016 shall be deemed to be timely if the applicable 
Directory Service Review Team is convened on or before 31 October 2016.
