1. Introduction

1.1. This document should be read in conjunction with the GNSO Review – Background Information document (found at http://www.icann.org/en/gnso/review-tor-background-04nov05.htm). Read together, the two documents provide the materials necessary to consider the GNSO Review Terms of Reference (GNSO ToR) which will be completed in early 2006. The documents reflect detailed consultation between ICANN Staff, the GNSO Council and between the GNSO Council and individual members of the ICANN Board.

1.2. ICANN now seeks to appoint an independent consultant to undertake the Review. The information outlined below illustrates the scope of the work and the selection criteria for evaluators.

2. Objectives

2.1. The review (among other actions) is designed to lead to improvements to one of the key policy development supporting organisations within the ICANN community. The ICANN Board requested a review of the GNSO in compliance with the ICANN Bylaws and resolved at its annual general meeting in Vancouver, Canada to formally initiate the review.

2.2. The review is due to begin in early February 2006 and should be completed by early Q2 2006. A full project timeline will be developed, but it is anticipated that a key milestone will include the presentation of a draft report at the Wellington, New Zealand meeting in March 2006.

2.3. The evaluation of the GNSO is expected to include face-to-face interviews, online surveys and desk research using information provided by the GNSO constituencies. The successful candidate is welcome to suggest additional forms of soliciting the information. ICANN will provide to the evaluation team baseline statistics that have been requested of each of the GNSO constituency chairs. ICANN will also provide background documentation and reports and access to a range of historical data.

2.4. Evaluators are expected to have detailed knowledge of or similar experience with policy making in an online environment, most particularly in relation to Internet governance.
