TM said that the final document will have a better and clearer structure with a new section containing the results of the last review including the implemented recommendations. TM added that ICANN requires including result of previous reviews in the documentation.
TM reported that they introduced in the report the idea to present the ASO as a bi-camera supporting organization with two councils or bodies, the policy house, essentially the ASO AC and the registry house that would be the NRO EC. TM explained that this was not a reorganization or restructure of the ASO, the intention was to create a better understanding of what the ASO is and does.
TM added that the report confirms the ASO is an efficient organization. TM said that the idea of the two chambers would help to have better understanding of the ASO and improve its accountability.
JC thanked TM for the report.

TM stressed that such idea didn’t represent a change of the structure but it was intended to have a better representation of the functions of the ASO.
JC thanked TM for his report.
