I made several editorial changes in this area, mostly related 
to changing the order of sentences, to keep the composition of 
the review committee separate from the activities of the review 
committee.

I have added "Activities of the Review Committee shall be 
conducted in an open and transparent manner."  I already had "two 
(2) of the members shall be selected via an open, accessible, 
documented and transparent procedure by the community of the RIR".

I have not added a requirement for each RIR Board to use an open 
and transparent process in appointing their one member, because 
the corresponding process for the NRO NC does not have such a 
requirement (see section 7 of the MoU which created the NRO, 
<https://www.nro.net/documents/nro-memorandum-of-understanding>).

New text:

[[[
Establishment of a Review Committee

To ensure the service level defined in the proposed contract is 
maintained and provided by the IANA functions operator, the NRO 
EC will conduct periodic reviews of the service level of the 
IANA number resource functions that serves each RIR and their 
respective communities.  Such reviews shall be conducted not less 
than once every three (3) years, and more frequently on request 
from the Boards of at least two of the RIRs.

The NRO EC shall establish a Review Committee that will advise 
and assist the NRO EC in its periodic review.  The Review 
Committee will, as needed, undertake a review of the level of 
service received from the IANA functions operator and report to 
the NRO EC any concerns regarding the performance of the IANA 
functions operator, including especially any observed failure 
or near-failure by the IANA functions operator to meet its 
contractual obligations under the proposed contract.  Any such 
Review Committee will advise the NRO EC in its capacity solely to 
oversee the performance of the IANA number resource functions and 
the Review Committee’s advice and comment will be limited to the 
processes followed in the IANA functions operator’s performance 
under the proposed contract.  Activities of the Review Committee 
shall be conducted in an open and transparent manner.  Reports 
from the Review Committee shall be published.

The Review Committee should be a team composed of three (3) 
suitably qualified representatives from each RIR region.  Within 
each RIR region, one (1) of the Review Committee members shall 
be appointed by the Board of the RIR, and two (2) of the members 
shall be selected via an open, accessible, documented and 
transparent procedure by the community of the RIR.  This is 
similar to the way members of the NRO NC are appointed or 
selected, and it is expected that each RIR will develop its own 
procedures for this purpose.

I moved that paragraph as you suggested, and made minor editorial
changes.

New text (a new paragraph at the end of "Contract and Service 
level agreement with the IANA functions operator on number 
resources", just before "Establishment of a Review Committee"):

[[[
While there are no concrete needs or plans at this point, the NRO 
EC may in the future determine that the IANA functions related to 
number resources should be transferred to a different contractor. 
In such a case, selection of a new contractor shall be conducted 
in a fair, open and transparent process, in line with applicable 
industry best practices and standards.  Associated requests for 
proposals, responses, and the contract itself, shall be published.

I attach a .docx file with change tracking.
