CSC Charter, as included in the RT's Initial Report. According to the ICANN Bylaws (Section 17.3 (c)) and reflected in the CSC Charter, the ccNSO and RySG are required to review the CSC Charter one year after the first meeting of the CSC to consider whether
the Charter is adequate and provides a sound basis for the CSC to perform their responsibilities as envisioned in the development of the IANA Transition Proposal. Taking into account comments received, the Review Team will then prepare a Final Report for consideration
and adoption by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils. The Amended Charter will become effective following the adoption of the Final report.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
