  • Statistical reporting on the Board information and report disclosure, this should include measures of:
    
    • Percentage of Board Book and other information that is released to the general public
    • Percentage of released information that is redacted
    • Number and nature of issues that Board determined should be treated at either:
      
      • Under chatham House Rule

    • Reports submitted
    • Reports verified as contaiing issues requiring action
    • Reports that resulted in change to ICANN practices
  • Include a yearly report of metric that are derived from the transparency recommendations made in AOC recommendations.  this metrics report should include:
    
    • Analysis of the continued relevance and usefulness of existing metrics, including considerations on whether activities are being geared toward the metrics (aka, teaching to the test) without contributing toward the goal of genuine transparency
    • Recommendations for new metrics
• This report should be created under the supervision of  the ICANN Ombudsman.
  
  • This would require a change to By-laws on the Ombudsman scope
• The transparency function requires an additional hire, within the Ombudsman office, to work with the various AOC review groups to provide continuity of the transparency function across all AOC groups.
