Presentation of the Second Interim Report of the Board Review Working Group, 
and Public Comment Period

9 June 2009

ICANN appointed the Boston Consulting Group/Colin Carter & Associates to 
perform the external review of its Board of Directors; their review report 
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-3-02nov08-en.htm#reports
was presented at the Cairo meeting. A public comment period followed and 
comments were received. 

The Board review WG, having considered the Independent Reviewer's final report, 
Board input, and comments from stakeholders and the public, issued an Interim 
Report for consultation with the Community, which was presented at the ICANN 
meeting in Mexico City. This Interim Report presented the WG's "initial 
thinking" on the questions under review; then, a public comment period allowed 
for comments from interested parties.

Following this second round of consultation the Board review WG continued its 
activity and presents now its second Interim Report. Most issues related to the 
external reviewer's report have been finalized, while the WG seeks further 
inputs from the community on three issues that remain outstanding, in view of 
the finalization of its report. 

This second Interim Report [PDF, 133K] will be presented at the Sydney meeting, 
and a public comment period is now open until the 5 July 2009.
