> Dear Glen,
>  
> The GNSO Review Supplementary 360 Assessment <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-10-27-en> is underway and we would like to make you and your community members aware of it.  This Supplementary Assessment will provide survey takers with a mechanism to give valuable input into the GNSO's Working Groups. The GNSO Working Groups are one of the cornerstones of the ICANN Policy Development process, proving input on them is vital to a successful Review.
>  
> We would be happy to give a brief overview to your community members on the Supplementary 360 Assessment during one of your upcoming calls.  Doing so would take no more than 5-10 minutes of your community’s time. Please let me know if your community has any free time to discuss this Supplementary 350 Assessment.
>  
> I have attached the English PDF of the survey (translations will be available shortly) and I have added some general information about the overall process below, please share this information with your community members.

> GNSO serves an important function – it is responsible for developing and recommending to the ICANN Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains. <>[ <applewebdata://7E080BE2-597E-475B-BA96-879C70132C8F#_ftn2>1 <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/bylaws-2012-02-25-en#/X>]

> The review{2 <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/bylaws-2012-02-25-en>] is part of ICANN’s commitment to continuous improvement, accountability and transparency.  It uses mechanisms and measures to maintain public confidence in the viability, reliability and accountability of ICANN.  
> 
> The purpose of the review is to evaluate organizational effectiveness of the GNSO, acknowledge areas that are working well, identify areas that need improvement and affect needed changes.
> 
> The quality, validity and acceptance of the GNSO Review and the resulting improvements depend on relevant and useful feedback from a diverse and representative group of people.   This is the cornerstone of ICANN’s bottom-up multi-stakeholder model.

> [1] Article X <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/bylaws-2012-02-25-en#/X> of ICANN Bylaws provides further detail.
> [2] ICANN’s Bylaws <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/bylaws-2012-02-25-en> require that its structures, including the GNSO, be reviewed on a five-year cycle.  According to the Bylaws, the goal of the review is “to determine (i) whether that organization has a continuing purpose in the ICANN structure, and (ii) if so, whether any change in structure or operations is desirable to improve its effectiveness.”
