Specifically:<br>
<br>
RECONSIDERATION<br>
<ul>

harmed”</li>

From the report:<br>
<br>
With regard to restructuring review mechanisms, an Accountability
Structures Expert<br>
Panel (ASEP) was commissioned in September 2012. It included three
international<br>
experts on issues of corporate governance, accountability and
international dispute<br>
resolution. The ASEP reported on October 2012 and the Board acted
upon its<br>
recommendations on 20 December 2012, approving amendments to bylaws
Article<br>
IV, Section 2[80] (Reconsideration), Section 3[81] (Independent
Review), and the<br>
corresponding Cooperative Engagement Process for Independent
Review.[82]<br>

The Special Community Group will use the 2012 Report of the
Accountability<br>
Structures Expert Panel (ASEP) as one basis for its discussions. All<br>
recommendations of this Special Community Group would be subject to
full<br>
community participation, consultation and review, and must take into
account<br>
any limitations that may be imposed by ICANN’s structure, including
the<br>
degree to which the ICANN Board cannot legally cede its
decision-making to,<br>
or otherwise be bound by, a third party.<br>

Group</i></small>)<br>
