The Bylaws provide, with respect to SO/AC reviews: "These periodic reviews shall be conducted no less frequently than every five years, based on feasibility as determined by the Board.” This has been read in the past to permit delay – and here we are facing 10 or 11 reviews in a very compressed period.

I could be wrong (highly likely) but haven’t a couple of them been delayed in the past? I’m not sure if any have been officially “deferred” though.

James,
Personally, I wasn’t aware that these reviews could be deferred.
I don't believe they can be, which makes this proposal all the more interesting.
Section 4(1) of the ICANN Bylaws is quite clear:
"These periodic reviews shall be conducted no less frequently than every five years, based on feasibility as determined by the Board."
The feasibility clause does not abrogate the responsibility for having these reviews "no less frequently than every five years".
Obviously I'm missing something the discovery of which will make me seem fairly stupid. It's that or the Board is acting beyond its remit which would be a less than fantastic start to ICANN's new found independent existence.
Best,
Ed
Thanks—
J.

Brief Overview:
The ccNSO Review, scheduled to start in August 2017, is proposed to be deferred by 12 months, in response to community concerns about bandwidth.
As per ICANN's Bylaws, Article 4, Section 4.4 (a), organizational reviews, such as the ccNSO Review, 'shall be conducted no less frequently than every five years, based on feasibility as determined by the Board.'
The Final Report of the previous ccNSO Review was submitted to the Board on 4 March 2011. Following an initial deferral, due to the IANA Transition, the ICANN Board, based on explicit feedback from the ccNSO Chair, proposes to defer the upcoming ccNSO Review until August 2018.
The ccNSO will use the time until the start of the next ccNSO Review to conduct an evaluation of the implementation status of the recommendations that arose from the previous Review.
