Terms of reference
To produce a timely impact assessment on
a) the efficacy of policy making within the DNSO, and

To produce a recommendation to the Names Council based on this assessment.
To achieve this the task force should briefly evaluate proposals for re-structuring against the following criteria:
1. the efficacy of policy making within the DNSO
- degree of formal interaction between stakeholders
- quantity of predicted unique issues of a new SO outside the competence of DNSO versus issues within competence of DNSO
- mechanisms for cross-SO communication
- effect on the DNSO consensus process.
2. the efficacy of ICANN decision making
- the ability of each proposal to generate valid consensus-based policy making
- possibility of the Board receiving contradictory advice from its SOs and the impact on resolution mechanisms
- likely financial and representational robustness of any SO
- likelihood of the proposal to achieve adequate, balanced and fair stakeholder representation on the Board
Timeframe:
The task force will consider proposals made to the Board before 31 January 2002.
