requirements. After consideration of community input on a draft survey and
the implementation of the Lime Survey software within the ICANN IT
infrastructure, the survey was made available to the community in September
2012. ICANN staff compiled and consolidated the survey results and the
WSWG completed the WSWG <A

expected. In order to be effectively prepared for these reviews, it was
proposed in Beijing that a group be formed to understand the issues and begin to
take appropriate next steps. One key suggestion from Beijing was that any
group (such as the Council) being reviewed undertakes a form of
self-review. The intended course of action may have been impacted by the
recently announced proposal to delay any board initiated review activity.
