Pilot Holistic Review Draft Terms of Reference Submission - Intellectual Property Constituency
10 November 2022

Submission Summary:

The IPC supports proceeding with a holistic review provided the Draft Terms of Reference are substantially revised. The current draft is inaccessible to most readers as it uses too much ICANN jargon, is overly complex and raises questions as to the precise purpose of the review. IPC recommends that the 2002 holistic review be used as a benchmark for a new review. Further, we recommend ICANN not delay implementation of recommendations from o......


Pilot Holistic Review Draft Terms of Reference Submission - Cross-Community Working Party on ICANN and Human Rights (CCWP-HR)
10 November 2022

Submission Summary:

We welcome the work of ICANN on releasing the document in line with Workstream 2 Recommendations on ICANN Transparency. Our analysis shows that, primarily, the document is a good first step but has fundamental gaps in ensuring the full implementation of Section 27.2 of the ICANN Bylaws (on Human Rights) and other Bylaws that have an impact on human rights.

CCWP-HR therefore implores ICANN to consider the recommendations below, which woul......

Pilot Holistic Review Draft Terms of Reference Submission - (RySG), Registries Stakeholder Group
10 November 2022

Submission Summary:

The RySG cannot support the Pilot Holistic Review Terms of Reference until fundamental concerns are first addressed by the ICANN Board and staff.  The RySG believes that the proposed approach is anything but clear. We do not understand the motivations of the ICANN Board and staff for apparently glossing over important procedural steps for such potentially impactful policy work.  

The RySG notes that moving directly to......


Pilot Holistic Review Draft Terms of Reference Submission - ICANN Business Constituency (BC)

Submission Summary:

Without a careful review of the scope and structure and without broad support from the various community groups, the starting conditions for the Pilot are sub-optimal.   


The ccNSO Council’s view is that ......

Pilot Holistic Review Draft Terms of Reference Submission - Pisanty, Alejandro
12 October 2022

Submission Summary:

1. the review must be performed including as reviewers parties designated by processes independent of all SO's and AC's. The vetting process through the SO's and AC's in the recent years (since it was instituted) has given rise to more insidership than ever and this in turn has weakened the reviews to the point of making some of them unworkable. The Board must be at freedom to designate external members. 

2. The paragraph on "consid......
