Background
Current Review
The timing of the current SSAC Organizational Review is in accordance with the July 2015 ICANN Board resolution on Proposed Schedule and Process / Operational Improvements for AoC and Organizational Reviews, setting the second organizations review of the Security and Stability Advisory Committee for 2017. In preparation for the 2017 SSAC Review, the current SSAC has established a Review Work Party to serve as a liaison between the independent examiner, the wider Community, the current SSAC and the Organizational Effectiveness Committee of the Board (OEC) who is responsible for the oversight of Organizational Reviews, including this SSAC Review. The role of the SSAC Review Work Party is to provide input on review criteria and the SSAC assessment, coordinate interviews and objectively supply clarification and responses to the Assessment Report and the Final Report as well as any intermediary findings. Once the Final Report is issued, the SSAC Work Party is expected to coordinate with the SSAC to prepare a Feasibility Assessment and Initial Implementation Plan based on the Final Report. Subsequently both reports will be sent on to the ICANN Board’s OEC for its consideration.
