Complaints Office

The Complaints Office provides a centralized location to submit complaints about the ICANN Organization. It receives complaints, researches them; collects, reviews, and analyzes facts; and resolves issues as openly as possible. The Complaints office is meant to enhance ICANN's effectiveness and increase its transparency. The office aggregates data from complaints to identify and address operational trends. The Complaints Office handles complaints that do not fall under the purview of Contractual Compliance, Reconsideration, or the Ombudsman.

History
