The '''First GNSO Organizational Review''' (GNSO1) was initiated in 2008, with implementation of improvements continuing throughout 2012.<ref name="dashboard">[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gnso1-progress-milestones-2019-08-06-en ICANN.org - GNSO1 Review Dashboard], last material update on June 23, 2012</ref>
==Background==
Article 4.4 of the [[ICANN Bylaws]] requires periodic review of all [[Supporting Organizations|supporting organizations]] and [[Advisory Committee|advisory committees]], as well as the [[NomCom|Nominating Committee]].<ref name="art44">[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article4.4 ICANN Bylaws - Article 4.4]</ref> The bylaws state three objectives for the review:
# to determine whether that organization, council or committee has a continuing purpose in the ICANN structure;
# if so, whether any change in structure or operations is desirable to improve its effectiveness; and
# whether that organization, council or committee is accountable to its constituencies, stakeholder groups, organizations and other stakeholders.<ref name="art44" />
Organizational reviews are conducted by independent examiners, selected through a competitive bidding process.<ref name="art44" /> The independent examiner works in consultation with a working group assembled by the board, who will act as implementation shepherds once the final report of the independent examiner is submitted.<ref name="hub" /> The review parameters are set by the ICANN Board, and those parameters as well as other avenues of inquiry are typically included in the request for proposals (RFP) for independent examiners.<ref name="art44" /><ref name="hub">[https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/org ICANN.org - Organizational Reviews]</ref> Reviews can take anywhere from three to five years to complete. The full review process includes [[ICANN Reviews#ICANN Review Cycle|seven phases]], including the implementation of recommendations from the review.<ref name="hub" /> Reviews must be conducted at least every five years, measuring from the date that the final report of the previous review was accepted by the ICANN Board.<ref name="hub" /> The [[Generic Names Supporting Organization]] (GNSO) is one of the supporting organizations subject to Article 4.4 review.
It is notable that the GNSO1 review began with a review of reviews: the GNSO had previously been reviewed by the [[London School of Economics]] Public Policy Group in 2006, and by [[Patrick Sharry]] in 2004.<ref name="dashboard" /> These prior reviews were incorporated into the work process of the GNSO1 Review working group.<ref name="dashboard" />
