ICANN CCWG-Accountability: Recommendations to Improve ICANN’s Transparency

The Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) is seeking community input on a set of recommendations aimed to improve the transparency of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The draft recommendations were developed by the CCWG-Accountability as part of its Work Stream 2 (WS2).

The document contains 21 draft recommendations on improving ICANN‘s Documentary Information Disclosure Policy (DIDP), an overarching recommendation on improving the transparency of ICANN‘s Interactions with Governments, 3 recommendations on improving the transparency of Board Deliberations and 8 recommendation on improving Whistleblower Protection.

Following the public comment period the inputs will be analysed by the CCWG-Accountability WS2 who will consider amending its recommendations in light of the comments received and will publish a report on the results of the public consultation. If significant changes are required as a result of the public consultation the CCWG-Accountability WS2 may opt to have a second public consultation on the amended recommendations. If there are no significant changes required, the CCWG-Accountability WS2 will forward the final recommendations on improving ICANN‘s transparency to its Chartering Organisations for approval and then to the ICANN Board for consideration and adoption.
