Hello All, I note the four focus areas in the TOR are currently: - Representativeness - Authority - Effectiveness - Transparency I don't believe that "authority" is the right term for one of the four areas. Much of the material presently listed under the area of Authority could be included under the area "effectiveness". Perhaps "Compliance" could be considered instead as one of the four areas for review. Compliance would deal with issues of whether the Council and constituencies are following the bylaws, and also whether they are following their own rules and procedures. Note however that an ICANN body may be complying with its rules and procedures, and still not be "effective". Thus I like the distinction between conforming to rules and procedures, and whether these rules and procedures are helping produce good outcomes. The review may well recommend changes to bylaws, rules and procedures if necessary. Regards, Bruce Tonkin (speaking as an individual member of Council)
