<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">1. The Board shall cause a periodic review of the performance and operation of each Supporting Organization, each Supporting Organization Council, each Advisory Committee (other than the Governmental
Advisory Committee), and the Nominating Committee by an entity or entities independent of the organization under review. The goal of the review, to be undertaken pursuant to such criteria and standards as the Board shall direct, shall be to determine (i) whether
that organization has a continuing purpose in the ICANN structure, and (ii) if so, whether any change in structure or operations is desirable to improve its effectiveness.</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">These periodic reviews shall be conducted no less frequently than every five years, based on feasibility as determined by the Board. Each five-year cycle will be computed from the moment of the reception
by the Board of the final report of the relevant review Working Group.</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">The results of such reviews shall be posted on the Website for public review and comment, and shall be considered by the Board no later than the second scheduled meeting of the Board after such results
have been posted for 30 days. The consideration by the Board includes the ability to revise the structure or operation of the parts of ICANN being reviewed by a two-thirds vote of all members of the Board.</font></div>
