At-Large Workspace: ICANN Community Participant Code of Conduct on SOIs and General Ethics Policy

  • The draft ICANN Community Participant Code of Conduct Concerning Statements of Interest (“Code”) is the first step in addressing ICANN community requests to better guide ethical and transparent participation within the ICANN community. The draft Code embraces the reality that ICANN’s multistakeholder model is vibrant because of the variety of interests that are present within community deliberations, while expressing an expectation that those interests are clearly and fully disclosed among participants. ICANN is seeking community inputs on the draft Code, including the Enforcement Guidance set forth within the Code.

    • Key questions:

      • Does the ICANN Community Participant Code of Conduct Concerning Statements of Interest adequately address the issue of setting clear expectations for community disclosures of interests?
      • Are there items you believe are missing from the Code or that should be removed from the Code, and why?
      • Are there other ethical issues you wish to see addressed as part of the broader ICANN Community Ethics Policy?
