Enhanc Enhancing ICA ing ICANN A NN Accoun untability ability

As ini=al discussions around the transi=on took place, the commu mmunity raised the broader topic of the imp mpact of the change on ICANN’s accountability.

⇢

The transi=on would end the U.S. Government’s historical contractual rela=onship with ICANN.

⇢

This rela=onship has been perceived as a backstop with regard to ICANN’s

• rganiza=on-wide accountability.

As As a a result result

ICANN launched a second process, parallel but interrelated with the IANA Stewardship Transi=on process, to examine from an

• rganiza=onal perspec=ve how ICANN’s broader accountability

mechanisms should be strengthened to address the absence of the U.S. Government.

Since December 2014, a working group of ICANN community members has developed a set of proposed enhancements to ICANN’s accountability to the global Internet community. This document is being distributed for the considera=on and approval of the working group’s 6 Chartering Organiza=ons.
