past 12 months - 23 December 2007
MARINA DEL REY, Calif. : The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and 
Numbers (ICANN) today released its second annual report, covering in 
detail the organization's achievements and progress over the past 12 months.
"I am delighted to announce the release of our second annual report," 
said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN's President and CEO. "As an organization we 
have made great progress this year, both in terms of policy work and in 
the quality of our operations. We have also made great efforts in 
relation to transparency and accountability".
In addition to updates on the progress ICANN's supporting organizations 
and advisory committees have made during 2007, the report also includes 
a section on the progress towards the completion of the Joint Project 
Agreement (JPA) with the United States Department of Commerce.
"The JPA is in the midst of its scheduled mid-term review, and the 
annual report highlights that ICANN has achieved the responsibilities 
outlined in the Agreement," Dr Twomey said
"ICANN will also release documents in the near future that include its 
submission to the JPA review and I ask commenters to examine this 
documentation prior to making their own submissions," Dr Twomey added.
