ICANN’s commitment to accountability and transparency, in the interest of Internet users globally, was formalized and documented in 2009 in the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) agreement with the U.S. Government. It set a course for ongoing evolution and improvement in ICANN’s accountability. ICANN views the implementation methodology it chose as the means of ensuring an organization-wide commitment to continuous improvement.
The method of implementing the ATRT2’s recommendations will serve as a pilot. ICANN will refine the approach to apply consistently to AoC and other review efforts.
Roles and Responsibilities
The 12 ATRT2 recommendations contain 51 components. An ICANN-appointed Project Manager is responsible for facilitating planning, monitoring progress, conducting risk assessments and providing ongoing reporting across multiple ICANN teams. Each recommendation is assigned a project sponsor and an owner responsible for planning and executing the necessary implementation steps, securing resources and tracking performance via Key Success Factors and Key Performance Indicators. An Advisory Committee consisting of several members of ICANN’S Executive Leadership team has been appointed to oversee the implementation work and ensure timely, clear and relevant reporting to ICANN Stakeholders.
