*Summary*
Following the GNSO Council meeting on 8 May 2014, the GNSO Council would
like to extend the invitation to join the GNSO Review Working Party to
members of the GNSO community. The make-up of the Working Party is expected
to reflect that of the GNSO community, with the opportunity for other
Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees to appoint an observer
should they decide so.
*Tasks of the GNSO Review Working Group Party*
The task of the GNSO Review Working Group Party will be to:
1. Function as a liaison between the GNSO, the independent examiner and
the Board?s Structural Improvements Committee;
2. Provide input on review criteria and the 360
Assessment[1]<#145f12d57bedb01d__ftn1>
;
3. Serve as additional conduit for input from, and requests to, GNSO
constituencies/stakeholder groups, Council;
4. Act as sounding board: offer objective guidance, reactions and
comments to any preliminary conclusions and assessment and helping to
ensure the draft report issued by the independent examiner accurately
reflects the GNSO structure, scope and dynamics;
5. Coordinate with the GNSO community to prepare an Implementation Plan
and champion implementation of improvement activities;
6. Perform support communication/awareness activities to encourage
participation.
*Volunteer Requirements*
The membership of the GNSO Review Working Party is proposed to include
members representing the diversity of the GNSO community, mirroring the
make-up of the GNSO Council (up to 3 representatives from the Registry
Stakeholder Group, up to 3 representatives from the Registrar Stakeholder
Group, up to 2 representatives from the Nominating Committee appointees, up
to 2 representatives from the Business Constituency, up to 2 representative
from the Intellectual Property Constituency, up to 2 representatives from
the Internet Service and Connectivity Providers Constituency, up to 6
representatives from the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group, in addition to
the possibility for other SO/ACs to appoint 1 observer to the effort). The
activities of the GNSO Review Working Party will be conducted in an open
and fully transparent manner.
Knowledge of the GNSO structure and operations as well as experience in
evaluating performance and processes based on a set of objective criteria
would be useful. Members are expected to participate actively and to
devote sufficient time to the process. Time commitment is expected to be 50
? 80 hours within the next 9 months, with work commencing immediately.
Commitment to and compliance with ICANN?s bottom-up, multistakeholder
model, and accountability and transparency ethics are a requirement.
*Submitting candidates*
Each Stakeholder Group / Constituency is expected to determine their own
process for selecting members for this effort taking into account the
requirements, especially in relation to expected time commitment listed
above. Stakeholder Groups/Constituencies may, but are not required to fill
all the slots allocated to their respective groups. Ideally the names of
the proposed candidates are submitted *by Monday 19 May at the latest* as
work has already commenced. The names of the proposed candidates should be
submitted to the GNSO Secretariat (gnso.secretariat at gnso.icann.org).
*Background*
The objective of the GNSO Review[2] <#145f12d57bedb01d__ftn2> is to examine
organizational effectiveness of the GNSO, including its structure
components (GNSO Council, GNSO Working Groups, GNSO Stakeholder Groups and
Constituencies). The review scheduled to begin on or about 1 July 2014 will
be tightly scoped based on objective and quantifiable criteria provided to
the independent examiner.
Involvement of the GNSO community as well as input and participation from
the broader community are important components of this review process. As
discussed in GNSO Council meetings, the Structural Improvements Committee
of the Board (SIC) has requested that a GNSO Review Working Party be
assembled to function as a liaison between the GNSO, the independent
examiner and the SIC, to provide input on review criteria and the 360
Assessment, coordinate interviews and objectively supply clarification and
responses to the draft findings and recommendations. Once a final report is
issued and the Board takes action on it, as appropriate, the GNSO Review
Working Party is expected to coordinate with the GNSO community to prepare
an Implementation Plan and champion implementation of improvement
activities.

announcement<http://gnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-22apr14-en.htm>

the GNSO Review for additional information and background.
