The Customer Standing Committee (CSC)<https://www.icann.org/csc> was established as one of the post IANA Transition entities and conducted its first meeting on 6 October 2016; 2. In accordance with Section 17.2(d)<https://www.icann.org/en/governance/bylaws#article17> of the ICANN Bylaws and per the CSC Charter, the effectiveness of the CSC is to be reviewed using a method determined by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils; 3. In September 2018<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsocouncilmeetings/pages/...>, the ccNSO and GNSO Councils adopted a template to conduct the first Effectiveness Review, and in August 2021<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsocouncilmeetings/pages/...>, the ccNSO and GNSO Councils adopted the Terms of Reference for the second CSC Effectiveness Review, using the same template as the first review supplemented with a question on whether the recommendations of the first review had been implemented and were effective; 4. On 17 March 2023, the CSC Effectiveness Review Team delivered its Final Report<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/csc-ef...> to the GNSO Council for its consideration and adoption. 5. On 20 April 2023, the GNSO Council voted to approve<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsocouncilmeetings/pages/...> the Final Report<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/csc-ef...> of the CSC Effectiveness Review Team. 6.

On 11 February 2026, the ICANN Board opened a public comment forum<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/fundamental-bylaws-amendm...> on the proposed Fundamental Bylaws Amendments to implement recommendations of the second IANA Naming Function Review (IFR) and the most recent Customer Standing Committee (CSC) Effectiveness Review. 8.
