Meridian Institute will begin work on the review immediately, and is expected to submit its final report in July 2019.

The OEC is responsible for overseeing ICANN's Organizational Reviews process. The selection criteria for the independent examiner was developed in collaboration with the ccNSO Review Working Party<https://community.icann.org/x/jga8B>. The criteria included: understanding of the assignment, comprehension of the ccNSO's role within the ICANN structure, and the independence of the proposed team. ccNSO Review Activity at ICANN63 As part of their data collection, the Meridian Institute team leads will be conducting in-person interviews at ICANN63 in Barcelona, Spain, with current and past members of the ccNSO, informed community members, and members of the ICANN organization and Board.
