As you may know, there are several , called specific, reviews conducted in regular basis as mandated by bylaws in ICANN covering topics such as Whois&RDS, Accountability & Transparency and so on. ICANN is proposing here some operating standards to be followed by those reviews teams. Those procedures concerns different areas like the team members selection, how the review team will operate, how to the scope of work etc. Those reviews are important and part of mechanisms to make improvements or propose recommendations, and so it is critical to pay attention on the rules the teams are supposed to follow. For more background, you can find all the relevant material and explanation here: <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reviews-standards-2018-12-17-en">https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reviews-standards-2018-12-17-en</a></div><div><br></div><div>I created this google doc to be used during the drafting and accessible to all: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pEKINvc1ltbvYKEDGtgZ1FHrvttZFI3mXBhZsTOg1G8/edit">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pEKINvc1ltbvYKEDGtgZ1FHrvttZFI3mXBhZsTOg1G8/edit</a> </div><div><br></div><div>Please let me offline if you want to volunteer to participate in drafting the NCSG comment and join the team.
