As a public service organization, ICANN's bylaws establish the scope and direction of the organization's mission, commitments, and core values.[1] The Bylaws specify review processes for ICANN and its stakeholder organizations.[2] The review processes are designed to ensure that ICANN is performing its mission in the best way possible.[3] Reviews aim to evaluate the health of the multistakeholder model, ICANN transparency and accountability, organizational effectiveness, and the security and stability of the DNS.[3]
Specific Reviews
ICANN's operations are subject to periodic Specific Reviews, enumerated in Article 4.6 of the bylaws:[4]
- Accountability and Transparency (ATRT) - focused on ICANN operations[5]
- Security, Stability, & Resiliency (SSR) - focused on the DNS[6]
- Registration Directory Service (RDS/WHOIS) - focused on registration data and public access to registration information[7]
- Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice (CCT) - ushered in as part of the New gTLD Program, this review is focused on the domain marketplace and the experience of registrants and other consumers[8]
Timing & Process
ATRT, SSR, and RDS/WHOIS reviews must take place periodically, and no more than five years after the last review team was convened[9] A CCT review is initiated one year after the launch of a New gTLD application round.[9]
The review process timeline extends two to three years and involves multiple opportunities for participation, public comment, and deliberation among stakeholders.[10]
Organizational Reviews
Each supporting organization and advisory committee, as well as the Nominating Committee is periodically reviewed pursuant to Article 4.4 of the Bylaws.[11] The GAC is exempted from Article 4.4, although it is charged to implement and deploy its own review processes.[12]
