Possible ?Next Steps? in Dispute Resolution

 

Document released by ICANN for Public Notice

 

11 January 2008

 

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: Following the posting of the Frameworks and
Principles for Accountability and Transparency, the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers today published a document that countenances some
possible additional improvements in dispute resolution mechanisms.

 

In response to feedback on accountability and transparency issues during the
consultation process ? especially feedback received during a workshop at
ICANN?s Los Angeles meeting held in November 2007 ? the ?Next Steps?
document contains two ideas:

 

First, that the Board Governance Committee schedule a review of existing
dispute resolution mechanisms to identify ways in which they may might
provide even higher levels of accountability. This approach is inline with
ICANN?s commitment to regularly review its structures.

 

Second, that in the context of the upcoming Board review, the possibility of
a mechanism for the community to ask the Board to reconsider a decision be
investigated, along with a mechanism to dissolve and reconstitute the Board
should it engage in unethical or other misbehavior.

 

The document [PDF, 89K] is posted for public notice prior to final
consideration by the Board.
