"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
