http://bit.ly/18uJsM Open Trust Report on ICANN

The problem with this report was in the terms of refernce: They were not asked to actually measure ICANN's actions against the specific requirement of ICANN's Bylaws. See my comments on this report when it was released: http://forum.icann.org/lists/transparency-2007/msg00003.html This was one of several comments in which I pointed out the violations of the Bylaws in each of the 3 "accountability" mechanisms: failure to propoerly appoint an Ombudsman, a decision by the reconsideraiton Committee explicitly based on information (communications with the Ombudsman) not in the public record, and failure to propoerly designate an independent review provider or procedures for independent review. ---------------- Edward Hasbrouck <edward@hasbrouck.org> <http://hasbrouck.org> +1-415-824-0214
