Personally, I am amazed that ICANN feels the need to go "external" when it has such a massive pool of diverse, experienced expertise within its community. Historically, the use by ICANN of outside "expertise" has appeared to me to be an indication that the organization does not trust its own community perform such an evaluation. It's more evidence that ICANN as a body fears its volunteers rather than exploits their perspectives. I am much more in favour of having outside resources available to a community review, than to put leadership of this effort in the hands of people without diverse backgrounds or experience in ICANN culture. - Evan On 18 September 2012 05:40, Salanieta T.

ICANN Launches Accountability Structures Expert Panel, Seeks
Community
Input
11 September 2012
In fulfillment of ATRT Recommendations 23 and 25, calling for a review of ICANN's Accountability Structures, ICANN has identified an international panel of experts to serve on the Accountability Structures Expert Panel (ASEP). Biographies of the experts are available at <http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/accountability/asep> http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/accountability/asep.
The ASEP is interested in hearing from the ICANN community regarding your thoughts on ICANN's accountability structures, particularly the Reconsideration process and the Independent Review process, and whether they can or should be modified. Your comments and inputs can be submitted to <mailto:ASEP@ICANN.org>ASEP@ICANN.org and comments can be viewed at <http://forum.icann.org/lists/asep/> http://forum.icann.org/lists/asep/ . Please provide your input by 1 October 2012.
The ASEP will be posting updates regarding its work, with a detailed project plan expected by mid-September. All information regarding the ASEP will be accessible from the ASEP page at <http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/accountability/asep> http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/accountability/asep. _______________________________________________ ALAC mailing list ALAC@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac
