Implementation Details Periodic Organizational Reviews are performed by independent examiners for each of ICANN’s Supporting Organizations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs) (excluding the Governmental Advisory Committee - GAC), the Nominating Committee, Board of Directors, and the Technical Liaison Group (TLG). These reviews are meant to determine whether the organization has a continuing purpose in the ICANN structure, and if so, whether any change in structure or operations is desirable to improve its effectiveness. However, there does not seem to be a periodic review of the overall composition and balance of ICANN’s stakeholder groups. While the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability Work Stream 2 (CCWG-Accountability WS2) has a SubGroup that addresses the SO/AC Accountability issues, evaluating the composition of ICANN’s constituent parts is not within the scope of its work. Next Step The ALAC will advise the ICANN Board to initiate a process -- whether through an existing review process in ICANN (e.g. The Third Accountability and Transparency Review - ATRT3) or through a new periodic review process -- to evaluate the overall composition and balance of stakeholder representation in relations to their decision-making requirements in ICANN. |
