The independent review of integrity in tennis is expected to take at least a year.
The review was announced at the Australian Open last month by the four global governing bodies in the sport following explosive allegations by the BBC and BuzzFeed about match-fixing.
In announcing the terms of reference and protocols for the review, a statement from the International Tennis Federation, ATP, WTA and Grand Slam board read: "The Independent Review Panel (IRP) will investigate thoroughly the allegations of corruption in international professional tennis and the effectiveness of existing anti-corruption practices and procedures.
"The IRP will review the effectiveness and appropriateness of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Programme, the Tennis Integrity Unit and the Tennis Integrity Protection Programme and recommend any suggested changes.
"While there is no fixed deadline for the IRP to complete its independent review, it is expected that the full review will take at least 12 months with the publication of an interim report during that time."
The review panel will be led by Adam Lewis QC, with an additional two members to be confirmed by the end of this month.
The panel will have the right to demand the production of documents and other information and will consult with not just tennis stakeholders but law enforcement agencies, betting operators and other relevant organisations.
As well as the match-fixing allegations, the panel will also look at the banning of two umpires on the Futures Tour for corruption, which was not made public until an investigation by the Guardian.
There will be a consultation process following the publication of the interim report, which will invite comments from relevant parties and the public, after which a final report will be produced.
The statement continued: "The governing bodies of international tennis will publish this document and have committed to fund and implement all of the IRP's recommendations."
