[bc-gnso] Re: Policy calendar for 17-July-2012 BC member call

[Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For our current discussion of GNSO Review, here's what ICANN's bylaws require:

Section 4. PERIODIC REVIEW OF ICANN STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS

1. The Board shall cause a periodic review 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.

These periodic reviews shall be conducted no less frequently than every five 
years, based on feasibility as determined by the Board. Each five-year cycle 
will be computed from the moment of the reception by the Board of the final 
report of the relevant review Working Group.

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.
