While the 'Enhancing the Effectiveness of ICANN's Multistakeholder Model' project was being conducted, the Board sought community input on the value of an ongoing evaluation method. Public comments overwhelmingly supported having a mechanism in place that allows for evaluation of impact of the proposed Work Plan to address the identified issues. As a result and critical to furtherance of this program, designing an evaluation methodology became the first major milestone of implementation phase of this project. To that end, ICANN org undertook designing a proposed evaluation methodology, to help the org, Board, and the community evaluate how the multistakeholder model has evolved.

The evaluation will assess design, implementation, or outcome of a project/initiative to help improve its effectiveness and/or inform future decision making by helping us to:

  • Facilitate our thinking about what a given project is all about, including its goals and objectives, how the project will meet its goals and how we will know if it has met its goals or not.
  • Track and review progress of the actions being implemented.
  • Understand, verify, or increase the impact of processes or projects in furthering the important work of ICANN community, Board, and organization. 
  • Improve delivery mechanisms to be more efficient and less costly.
  • Produce data or verify results that can be used by the community for future projects. 

ICANN org has selected a number of projects from the list of projects/initiatives identified as those that when implemented could help address the issues hampering the effectiveness of MSM to evaluate and assess their impact on the workings of ICANN's Multistakeholder Model. 


Projects Selected for Evaluation

Projects that are currently not fully implemented will be evaluated once their implementation has been completed. Additionally, there are a number of new projects which started after MSM project list was created (ODP, ITI, DAAR, Strategic trends work, etc.). These projects will also be evaluated to help ICANN org, Board, and community assess the improvements made to MSM over time and on a continuous basis.
