To: "At-Large Advisory Committee (publicly archived)" <alac@icann.org> Subject: [At-Large] Independent Review of At-Large
At the Sao Paulo ICANN meeting, the Board approved a comprehensive
schedule for independent review of ICANN’s structures (as required under
Article IV, Section 4 of the Bylaws), as well as the Board:
• Nominating Committee – estimated launch December 2006
• At-Large Advisory Committee – estimated launch February 2007
• DNS Root Server System Advisory Committee – estimated launch July 2007
• Board – estimated launch October 2007
• Security and Stability Advisory Committee – estimated launch January 2008
• ccNSO Supporting Organisation – estimated launch July 2008
• Address Supporting Organisation – estimated launch December 2008
These reviews are intended to ensure an independent examination of the
role and operation of key elements of ICANN, and are part of ICANN’s
ongoing commitment to its evolution and improvement. As with the first
two independent reviews, which were completed for the GNSO Council and
the GNSO, these reviews will be conducted in an objective way by
independent evaluators, under guidance from the Board on the review’s
terms of reference, and with opportunity for public review and comment
on the results of the reviews.
**Accordingly, input from the At-Large Advisory Committee, Regional
At-Large Large Organizations, and the At-Large community is invited on
the draft Terms of Reference for the ALAC review. Please provide Nick
Nick will be following-up with more information.**
Draft Terms of Reference (TOR), which detail questions that will guide
the independent reviewer, will be developed by staff and presented to
the Board Governance Committee. This Committee, which has oversight
responsibilities for independent reviews, will have draft TOR posted for
public comment and then finalized. You may find the draft TOR for the
Nominating Committee Review to be illustrative
Thank you for your interest and involvement in At-Large.
Regards,
Denise
