Hi,

Every once in a while the question of ICANN's accountability is raised
as a issue on this and other lists.  The Affirmation of Commitments
established a process for an Accountability and Transparency Review Team
to be assembled every 3 years to do a review.  I have written before of
how I believe this is a good mechanism for multistakeholder governance
and a model that could be built upon by other Ig organizations.

Of course a lot depends on how the ICANN Board and Staff take up the
recommendations in the Review.  At this point, I am optimistic because
they have both shown good cooperation during the process of doing the
review.

I was on this year's review team.

Translations into the 5 UN languages are currently being done and should
be available early in February.  I will send the URL's once they are
published, but I expect they will be listed in the top URL.
