Enhancing ICANN Accountability

6 May 2014

Forum Announcement:     Comment Period Opens on Date:   6 May 2014
Categories/Tags:        Transparency/Accountability
Purpose (Brief):

As announced at ICANN's March 2014 Public Meeting in Singapore, ICANN is initiating a discussion on Enhancing ICANN Accountability. This discussion will look at how ICANN remains accountable in the absence of its historical contractual relationship to the U.S. Government and the perceived backstop with regard to ICANN's organization-wide accountability provided by that role. While closely related to the ongoing discussions around the IANA Stewardship Transition, this is a separate process.
