'''WT''' is an acronym for '''Work Teams'''. The [[GNSO|Generic Name Supporting Organization]]'s (GNSO) [[OSC|Operations Steering Committee]] (OSC) created three work teams responsible for performing separate tasks. The OSC serves as the coordinating body for these teams, which include the '''GNSO Operations Work Team''', '''GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Operations Work Team''', and '''Communications and Coordination Work Team'''.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoosc/6.+Work+Teams community.icann.org]</ref>

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).

 

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>
