This is a good new initiative towards greater transparency. It would be helpful to have some explanation of what the IANA request queues do. I am sure the BC, at least, would like to see similar transparency into the number of Whois complaints and Registrar complaints submitted to and resolved by ICANN.

"At this stage the Dashboard has reports from Finance, IANA, and IETF request queue. We are looking for community feedback on this tool and will expand the reports available over time," said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN's President and CEO. The 'Dashboard' is the result of a substantial effort within ICANN to define measurable results, establish repeatable processes for collecting data, and to select and install software. "This is about continuous improvement, transparency, and accountability to our community," Dr Twomey added. Members of the public are invited to test drive the 'Dashboard' at http://www.icann.org/idashboard/public/. -- Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat - ICANN gnso.secretariat[at]gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org
