A vital part of ICANN's processes is the opportunity for there to be public comment on each substantial piece of work before it is put forward for final approval.
We have created a page where all of the issues current under public review within ICANN can be found, and would encourage people to check it out - and to continue to review it as more comment periods are opened, and as periods are closed and summaries and analyses of the comment made are posted.
The public comment page can be found at: http://icann.org/public_comment/.
All comment periods are official announced by ICANN on its main site (and you can sign up to an automated email service for ICANN announcements).
