On 14 August 2014, ICANN published <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-08-14-en">Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance - Process and Next Steps</a>, a document that describes the process to examine how ICANN's accountability
mechanisms should be strengthened to address the absence of its historical relationship with the US Government. The next steps in the process include the formation of a Coordination Group as proposed in the
<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/enhancing-accountability-2014-05-06-en">
original proposal</a> on 6 May. The Coordination Group will have 21 participants, including 10 stakeholder members (1 per SO/AC, with the exception of GNSO). Stakeholder communities are invited to launch their internal selections to appoint their representatives
to the Coordination Group. The upcoming Coordination Group gathering will take place during ICANN 51 in Los Angeles, October 2014. </div>
