[CRISP-TEAM] Review Committee

[Alan Barrett]

In response to the comment from Paul that the ReviewCommittee section
contains too much detail, I propose thefollowing changes:

1. Delete the sentence about frequency of review.
2. Delete the paragraph about number of members.
3. Retain everything else, which includes text about openness and
transparency which was not in the first draft.

CURRENT:
[[[

III.A.4. 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 at 
some time during the last twelve (12) months of the term of the 
proposed contract or its successors, or at any time on request 
from the Boards of at least two (2) of the RIRs, and shall in any 
case be conducted not less than once every three (3) years.

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.

go into much detail.
