ARTICLE IV: ACCOUNTABILITY AND REVIEW

*Section 1. PURPOSE*

provisions of this Article, creating processes for reconsideration and
independent review of ICANN actions and periodic review of ICANN's
structure and procedures, are intended to reinforce the various
accountability mechanisms otherwise set forth in these Bylaws, including
the transparency provisions ofArticle

 and the Board and other selection mechanisms set forth throughout these
Bylaws.
