These documents have been in development since late 2006. The process began
with a consultation which asked the community for their views on accountability
and transparency at ICANN. An issues paper summarising these comments was
posted in January this year
(http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-26jan07b.htm). Based on the
feedback that was received and the input from the One World Trust report on
accountability and transparency
(http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-4-29mar07.htm), a draft set of
Frameworks and principles was released for comment in June.
A panel discussion and consultation session was conducted at the San Juan
meeting and a public comment forum was opened on the website
(http://sanjuan2007.icann.org/files/sanjuan/SanJuan-WorkshopAccountabilityTransparency-27June07.txt).
A summary of the all comments received was posted recently
(http://forum.icann.org/lists/draft-mop-2007/msg00008.html).
Next Steps
Based on this comment and discussion, this revised set of Frameworks and
Principles is being posted for further community consultation. A public comment
forum will be opened on the website and we will take comments through 12
November. There will also be a consultation session at the Los Angeles meeting
to allow attendees at the meeting to take part in a discussion of the revised
principles. This will be held on Wednesday 30 October between 1530 and 1700
hours.
The Frameworks and Principles will be revised based on the feedback that is
received and it is hoped that a final version will be submitted to the Board
for approval at their December meeting.
The key changes between this version and previous version are as follows:
Financial Accountability at ICANN
* A separate section on external audit has been included
Dispute Resolution at ICANN
* Small changes to clarify meaning
* An additional section on registry and registrar dispute resolution has
been included
ICANN Consultation Principles
* Several small changes to clarify meaning
* Changes in response to community comment
ICANN Translation Principles
* Significantly rewritten based on feedback and work progressed by ICANN
staff translation committee.
ICANN Expected Standards of Behavior
* Renamed to ensure that the standards listed apply to all forms of
exchange within the community
* Small changes to clarify meaning
