Background Information The timing of Specific and Organizational Reviews mandated by the Bylaws has resulted in multiple reviews occurring at the same time. Currently, there are eleven Organizational and Specific Reviews underway. This is in addition to policy development work and other work across the ICANN community, resulting in strain on both volunteer and ICANN resources. Based on discussions with and feedback from the ICANN community, the ICANN organization analyzed options for both short and long-term approaches to solve the challenges associated with multiple reviews occurring at the same time and volunteer strain. Subsequently, ICANN org published two public comments to invite feedback on short-term [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2D...> and long-term [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2D...> options to address the workload of the volunteer community and impact on ICANN resources.
