Transparency definition
by Denise Michel April 5, 2013

April 5, 2013

I am not aware of an official definition of "transparency" (or "accountability"). Like the AoC, ICANN's bylaws use but don't define these terms. In January 2008, ICANN finalized a report entitled " ICANN ACCOUNTABILITY & TRANSPARENCY FRAMEWORKS AND PRINCIPLES," (attached) which you may find useful.

Metrics section draft
by David Conrad April 5, 2013

April 5, 2013

As promised. Feel free to edit/comment/flame/etc as appropriate. Original wording: "Identification of reliable indicators of progress with respect to accountability and transparency is likely to be complex. The ATRT2 has therefore tasked a working group to identify potential indicators to assist the team in its work. The initial recommendations of the working group are available <here>. Members of the ICANN community will be invited to submit suggestions for such indicators as well." My proposal: "Identification of reliable indicators of progress with respect to accountability and transparency is important to assess effectiveness and whether continual improvement is occurring. The ATRT2 has therefore tasked a working group to identify potential metrics to assist stakeholders and others in determining how ICANN is progressing in its efforts to be more transparent and accountable. The initial recommendations of the working group are available <here>. Members of the ICANN community and others will be invited to submit suggestions for such metrics as well." Regards, -drc

Transparency and documents
by Avri Doria April 5, 2013

April 5, 2013

A side note: One of the things I like about tools like Google drive and etherpads, is that even when a third draft is finally made public, it contains the full history of the edits. ~~~ avri
