A '''Work Team''' (WT) is a team connected to tasks related to the review, or implementation of review recommendations, for a [[Supporting Organizations|Supporting Organization]] (SO) or [[Advisory Committee]] (AC).
==Background==
SOs and ACs are periodically [[Organizational Reviews|reviewed]] to assess whether there are improvements or modifications that should or could be made to increase the effectiveness and service of the organization.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en#article4.4 ICANN Bylaws, Article 4.4]</ref><ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/org ICANN.org - Organizational Reviews]</ref> In conjunction with those reviews, WT's are created to assess and implement the recommendations contained in the final report of the independent examiner.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/org-reviews-process-flowchart-31aug17-en.pdf Organizational Review Process Flowchart], August 31, 2017 (PDF)</ref>
