One of the key things that Strickling mentioned in his accountability blog post was that this group needed to devise accountability mechanisms for ICANN's staff. There is a great example this week of how the staff currently lives outside any form of effective accountability in the unredacted version of the .Africa IRP decision. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/15/icann_dot_africa_review/ Not only did ICANN staff - its head of operations, no less - intervene in favor of one applicant over another, but when that fact was repeatedly referenced in what is supposed to be an independent review report, the staff decided they would remove that information before the report was published. This is a culture of impunity. What I would like to see introduced to ICANN is the ability to call for hearings/inquiries into issues. Similar to how Congress can hold inquiries into something, compel witnesses to appear, compel the release of information, fact-find and produce a report. Having read all the various legal advice provided by the independent legal experts, it strikes me that the ability for the community to establish such an inquiry and then compel witnesses and evidence to appear is not difficult to set up.
