There is a constant tension between keeping ICANN Board decisions and meetings transparent to all stakeholders and holding private discussions related to internally divisive and publicly detrimental issues. It even created an [[Accountability and Transparency Review Team]] to make recommendations to improve its internal processes and external communications. The team's first report was due at the end of 2010, and it is to continue to review and report at least every three years on the implementation of its previous findings and the identification of other discrepancies.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/affirmation/review-1-en.htm ICANN.org, Review]</ref>
