Request for Proposal for Review of Generic Names Supporting Organization
(GNSO)

22 April 2014

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") is
seeking a provider to conduct an independent review of the Generic Names
Supporting Organization (GNSO <http://gnso.icann.org/en/>), as mandated by
ICANN's Bylaws <http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws>.

As part of ICANN's ongoing commitment to its evolution and improvement,
Article IV – Section 4 of ICANN's Bylaws contains provisions for *"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."*

These periodic reviews present ICANN structures with opportunities for
continuous improvement through consistent application of compliance review
principles to objectively measure performance relative to specific and
quantifiable criteria developed by ICANN based on the unique nature of its
structures. The resulting implementation of improvements and the systematic
means of measuring performance and validating effectiveness of
implementation are of utmost importance to the ongoing legitimacy of ICANN.

The GNSO is the policy-making body responsible for generic top-level
domains, such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. Its members include representatives
from generic Top Level Domains (gTLD) registries, gTLD registrars,
intellectual property interest, Internet service providers, businesses and
non-commercial interests. The GNSO strives to keep gTLDs operating in a
fair, orderly fashion across one global Internet, while promoting
innovation and competition.

Given the significant increases in the number and nature of the generic Top
Level Domains resulting from the recent launch of the New gTLD Program, the
upcoming review of the GNSO is of critical importance to the ICANN
community. ICANN is planning to start the review on 1 July 2014, with an
anticipated duration of 6 months, and is seeking qualified providers to
conduct the review in a timely and efficient manner.
