TOR is the abbreviation for Terms of Reference, which generally refers to a drafted set of questions to serve as the basis for an independent review of an organization within ICANN.
Examples of TORs[edit | edit source]
The following are several of the TORs proposed by ICANN in the past.
TOR for the Independent Review of the Nominating Committee[edit | edit source]
The Terms of Reference for Independent Review of the Nominating Committee were approved by ICANN based on a draft posted on 12 December 2006 and the ensuing public comments. This TOR functions as a basis for the independent review of its Nominating Committee, suggesting general as well as specific questions to be addressed by the Review. The questions are generally illustrative, not exhaustive or definitive. It is not meant to limit the review, but rather to ensure that the review addresses the reasons for its creation, that is, to decide whether or not NomCom has a continuing purpose in the ICANN structure, and, if so, whether any changes in the structure or operation would improve its effectiveness.[1]
TOR for the Independent Review of ICANN's Accountability and Transparency[edit | edit source]
ICANN had also issued Terms of Reference for Independent Review of ICANN’s Accountability and Transparency under which it engaged the One World Trust or OWT to provide assistance to ICANN on the standards of accountability and transparency. [2]
TOR for the Review of the Security and Stability Advisory Committee[edit | edit source]
ICANN had also issued a draft term of reference for the review of the Security and Stability Advisory Committee or SSAC. The purpose of the TOR was drafted based on revising the operation and structure of the SSAC by a tow thirds vote of all Board Members. [3]
