[independent review] Pulling A Review Panel Together

[Malcolm Hutty]

One small suggestion: at the end of their term of office they should be
ineligible for re-appointment, or for appointment to the Board or other
office within ICANN.

One of the greatest threats to independence (at least in environments
free of outright corruption) is the hope of re-appointment, or of
preferrment to another role, the latter often being justified on the
basis of the "outstanding expertise and experience" acquired in the
previous role.

The most certain check on this threat would be permanence of office, but
as this is not appropriate in this case then a single could substitute.

Malcolm.
