'''ICANN Accountability''' became a primary focal point of the [[ICANN]] community shortly after the [[NTIA]] announced its intent to transition stewardship of the [[IANA]] functions to the global multistakeholder community. ICANN , already bestowed with the IANA functions contract and coordination of the [[DNS]], was asked to kick-start a mutistakeholder process aimed at developing a proposal for the transition. During the early stages of this process, the community raised concern over the outlook of ICANN’s accountability following the transition.

From the days of ICANN’s infancy, a high degree of accountability was set in place by contractual relationship between ICANN and the United States government. The renewal process of the IANA functions contract has historically served as a backstop to ICANN accountability. The impending relinquishment of this role by the US government, created the opportunity and the necessity to examine the efficacy of existing accountability mechanisms.
