<p class="MsoNormal">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?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<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.<o:p></o:p></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.'<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p>
