<p>I concur with Ed and others. Maybe the Boeard can act "...based
on feasibility as determined by the Board." But it is rather
demotivating to those SO/ACs working hard to manage their
"bandwidth concerns" on a long run (5 years).</p>
<p>I'm curious to see the ccNSO report on implementation evaluation
of the last review.</p>

<div>Hi Becky,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It seems to me that reading of the Bylaws is somewhat
creative and best left to the "old" ICANN. "Shall" indicates
more than best efforts, it's a requirement, and the feasibility
section would appear to be a subordinate clause. If the Board
felt it was feasible and presumably desirable to have a review
in under 5 years that's permitted. I just don't read this as
allowing the Board to disregard the "shall" by declaring it not
to be feasible. What if the Board felt it was never "feasible"?
Do we then postpone Reviews indefinitely? Forever?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regarding feasible...even if the Bylaws are read creatively
I'd suggest that as long as there are volunteers to staff the
reviews it is feasible to proceed as envisioned. I'm still
seeing many more volunteers than Review positions available in
recent calls. It might even be healthier to go deeper into our
pool of volunteers than normal to increase the diversity of
views represented. Staff, however, might be resource challenged
and there I would suggest the Board and ICANN leadership would
have a responsibility to fix that problem through adequate
resourcing, not by postponing the Reviews.</div>

<div>The Bylaws provide, with respect to SO/AC reviews:
"These periodic reviews shall be conducted no less
frequently than every five years, based on feasibility
as determined by the Board.” This has been read in the
past to permit delay – and here we are facing 10 or 11
reviews in a very compressed period.</div>

</td>
<td colspan="3">
<p>The ccNSO Review, scheduled to
start in August 2017, is proposed
to be deferred by 12 months, in
response to community concerns
about bandwidth.</p>
<p>As per ICANN's Bylaws, Article 4,
Section 4.4 (a), organizational
reviews, such as the ccNSO Review,
'shall be conducted no less
frequently than every five years,
based on feasibility as determined
by the Board.'</p>
<p>The Final Report of the previous
ccNSO Review was submitted to the
Board on 4 March 2011. Following
an initial deferral, due to the
IANA Transition, the ICANN Board,
based on explicit feedback from
the ccNSO Chair, proposes to defer
the upcoming ccNSO Review until
August 2018.</p>
<p>The ccNSO will use the time until
the start of the next ccNSO Review
to conduct an evaluation of the
implementation status of the
recommendations that arose from
the previous Review.</p>
