As I said in my comments, the report did not address the fundamental 
problems with ICANN's lack of transparency and accountability: the failure 
to actually operate in compliance with the transparency and accountability 
Bylaws.  My request for independent review, and for stay pending 
independent review, was made more than 2 years ago.  Other requests for 
independent review have been pending for many more years.

I have made specific suggestions for what needs to be done:

http://forum.icann.org/lists/principles-comments/msg00011.html

I remain willing to work with ICANN to develop mutually-agreed procedures 
for the pending independent review requests, since an IRP had not yet been 
designated and procedures had not yet been approved when my request and 
other requests were made. I have repeatedly urged ICANN to schedule a 
public meeting for this purpose.  ICANN has not yet even considered my 
request for independent review and stay, or any of the others (or has done 
so, if at all, only in secret, in violation of the transparency Bylaw).
