==Committee Work and Reports==
The Evolution and Reform Committee (ERC) began work in the spring of 2002.<ref>[https://archive.icann.org/en/committees/evol-reform/ ICANN.org Archive - Evolution & Reform Committee Workspace]</ref> The ERC presented an interim report on progress to the Board in April 2002, stating that it was making strides in gathering public opinion across a variety of fora, including personal communications to committee members.<ref name="apint">[https://archive.icann.org/en/committees/evol-reform/report-29apr02.htm ECR Workspace - Interim Report], April 29, 2002.</ref> The report provided an "idiosyncratic" overview of the public input received around many of the features and talking points of Stuart Lynn's proposals for reform. The Committee chair, [[Alejandro Pisanty]], emphasized that none of the community input and discussions could be characterized as conclusive.<ref name="apint" />

===Working Papers===
In May 2002, the ERC released a series of working papers on ICANN's mission & values, its policy development process, and its structure & the nominating committee concept.<ref name="workspace" /> The papers were intended to capture the current state of ICANN and its written and unwritten rules, and to spark community contributions and discussion on each of the issue areas being addressed by the ERC.<ref name="workspace" />
====ICANN Mission====
At the time of the ERC's work, neither ICANN's mission nor the organization's values were described in the bylaws.<ref name="feb02bl">[https://www.icann.org/resources/unthemed-pages/bylaws-2002-02-12-en ICANN Bylaws], as amended February 12, 2002</ref> The ERC created a draft mission statement and core values based on a wide variety of documents and agreements, most importantly the [[White Paper]], the 1998 Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Commerce, the [[IANA Contract]], and the Memorandum of Understanding between ICANN and the IETF.<ref name="missionwp">[https://archive.icann.org/en/committees/evol-reform/working-paper-mission-06may02.htm Working Paper on ICANN's Mission and Core Values], May 6, 2002</ref>
