Presentation of the Second Interim Report of the Board Review Working Group, and Public Comment Period 9 June 2009 ICANN appointed the Boston Consulting Group/Colin Carter & Associates to perform the external review of its Board of Directors; their review report http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-3-02nov08-en.htm#reports was presented at the Cairo meeting. A public comment period followed and comments were received. The Board review WG, having considered the Independent Reviewer's final report, Board input, and comments from stakeholders and the public, issued an Interim Report for consultation with the Community, which was presented at the ICANN meeting in Mexico City. This Interim Report presented the WG's "initial thinking" on the questions under review; then, a public comment period allowed for comments from interested parties. Following this second round of consultation the Board review WG continued its activity and presents now its second Interim Report. Most issues related to the external reviewer's report have been finalized, while the WG seeks further inputs from the community on three issues that remain outstanding, in view of the finalization of its report. This second Interim Report [PDF, 133K] will be presented at the Sydney meeting, and a public comment period is now open until the 5 July 2009. Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat
