Cerf' Cc: 'John Jeffrey'; Subject: Terms of Reference for the GNSO Review To: Chair, ICANN Board Cc: ICANN Secretary Dear Vint, Please forward the following to the ICANN Board mailing list. Attached is a draft terms of reference (Version 1.1) for the GNSO Review, which has been prepared with the support of Dr Liz Williams, Senior Policy Counselor. This terms of reference has been produced following an initial background paper prepared by Liz, a GNSO Council teleconference with officers of the GNSO constituencies, and contributions via the GNSO Council mailing list. The draft is still evolving in response to contributions from the GNSO Council members. The process for developing the terms of reference can be followed by reviewing postings to the GNSO Council mailing list. The archives are public. See: http://www.gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/ Attached is also a background paper, that provides links to relevant background documents, and also summarises the output from the GNSO Council review held at the end of 2004. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
