What is New with ICANN Reviews?
ICANN's Bylaws require that ICANN conduct regular reviews across the organization and on specific subject areas. This is an important part of ICANN's continued effort to serve the global community within its mission and scope. In an effort to make it easier to follow the ongoing work of the respective reviews, ICANN would be providing regular updates to the community.
The Multi-stakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives (MSSI) team is responsible for facilitating the reviews in coordination with identified internal teams and the community, depending on whether it is an ICANN-Specific or Organizational Review. Organizational Reviews assess ICANN's Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) to determine how effectively they operate, how well they achieve their purpose and how accountable they are to the multi-stakeholder community. Specific Reviews address a range of specific topics, such as Accountability and Transparency (ATRT), Consumer Choice, Confidence and Trust (CCT), Security and Stability (SSR), or Registration Directory Services (RDS). The timing of the respective reviews is mandated by the Bylaws. Reviews deliver findings and recommendations to help improve ICANN and its SOs and ACs. They are mandated by the ICANN Bylaws and are critical to maintaining a healthy multi-stakeholder model.
